About the Technical Reviewer

Andy Olsen is a freelance consultant/trainer based in the UK, and has been working in distributed systems for 20 years. Andy started working in C in the mid 1980s, but it might as well have been the mid 1880s, it seems so long ago. Andy migrated into C++, Java, and .NET as times and fashions changed, and is currently kept (too?) busy in web-based systems, both client-side and server-side. Andy lives by the seaside in Swansea and enjoys running, coffee shops, and watching the Swans.
