Meet our contributors and book reviewers

Mike James

Specialist subjects: .NET programming, web programming, technical frameworks and AI

Mike has been a programmer since before the personal computer revolution but more importantly has continued to program and to keep his skills completely up to date. He was one of the original consultants and contributors to Personal Computer World and that marked the beginning of his writing career during which he has authored over 50 books, including the widely acclaimed Foundations of Programming. If we were to count up his output of published magazine articles it would be a staggering number - so we won’t even try. He also has a PhD in computer science, an MSc in maths and a degree in Physics but we try to ignore this fact.

Sing Li

Specialist subjects: .Mobile device programming, open source frameworks and Java

Sing has been programming mobile devices professionally since the inception of Winpad 1.0 - the great great grandfather of Windows Phone 7. And he has been collecting devices for just as long, often
deemed useless garbage by others in his household.

Sing started his 20+ years technology career designing and coding for embedded devices, then branched into distributed system design and implementation for the industrial control, media, security and telecommunications industries. His
latest stint is with a web-scale SaaS (Software as a Service) company.

Having published his first magazine article in the early 1990's, Sing went on to write countless technical articles and many books on Java, C++, device drivers,
server and mobile technology.  His recent title, Beginning J2ME (APress) has become a bible for pioneering mobile phone developers.
