About the Author
Scott Berkun studied computer science, philosophy, and design at Carnegie Mellon University. Hired by Microsoft in 1994 as a usability engineer, he worked on Microsoft Office, Visual Basic, and other products. In 1995, he became a program manager on the Internet Explorer project, leading the design and development of many major features. After Version 5.0, he worked as a lead program manager on the Windows and MSN development teams. Scott also worked in Microsoft's engineering excellence group, helping others across the company and the industry learn about best practices in web and software development. He's presented lectures, taught workshops, and participated in various forms of mischief at many industry conferences.
Scott left Microsoft in 2003 with the goal of filling this bookshelf (pictured above) with books he has written. He continues to teach project management, software development, creative thinking, and product design as an independent consultant.
Visit www.scottberkun.com for discussion forums on topics in this book, dozens of other essays, and information on how you can help him fill that shelf (telling others about this book is an excellent place to start). This is his first published book. He lives somewhere in the woods east of Seattle.
