Introduction

To many, the words “Karl Moore” and “.NET” are one and the same. In this exclusive interview, Ahmad Permessur gets to put Moore in the hot seat and quiz him on everything: from whether .NET is really worth the hassle, to how you can become an author yourself, to why he’s obsessed with “Murder, She Wrote”. Read on!

Karl is one of the world’s most-respected .NET gurus. His easy-to-understand tutorials have generated a cult-like following. His first book was a sell-out success and he’s just released a second.

Joining me for an exclusive online interview, ladies and gentleman... it’s Karl Moore.

Karl: It’s a true pleasure to be joining you, Ahmad. And oh, what an overstated introduction! You sound like Michael Parkinson.

Ahmad:  Except better looking.

Karl: I fear that’s highly debatable.

Ahmad:  Let me start by talking about you. I mean, I’ve browsed your www.karlmoore.com site and already learned a good deal about how you spend your time. I know you’ve written for dozens of leading magazines and previously had a weekly feature on BBC radio. You write your syndicated Dot Column too, plus somehow find time to run White Cliff Computing Ltd. Are you tired?

Karl: I have two great blessings that keep me going. An amazing team supporting my every move. And a huge cupboard of Nescafé Gold Blend
