About the Author
Dimitris Tavlikos discovered that computer programming was a passion during his school
days. He knew this was what he wanted to do ever since he participated in a course for a few
hours a week and learned how to write simple console programs on monochrome monitors.
While working as a programmer for a major IT company in Greece, he stumbled upon the
quite promising and new language at the time, named C#. When MonoTouch was released,
providing .NET developers with the ability to create software for the iOS platform, he was
overwhelmed by the potential it offered.
With almost 10 years of professional programming experience with .NET and Mono, he now

works as a freelance C# and MonoTouch software developer and offers his expertise to
various projects for companies around the world.
In his spare time, he enjoys blogging about his "adventures" in coding
() and tries to fill his camera's memory cards.
