Jon’s interest in C# began in 2002 and until the today he’s the author of 3 books:

He joined Stack Overflow on September 26th 2008, and in just a few months he ended up as the “top user” (in terms of reputation) and stayed there ever since.  

Jon is active in both Java and C# questions (the two most popular tags) and has spent the previous 10 years posting on newsgroups, which helped greatly in terms of communication skills. 

The first edition of his C# book (C# in Depth) was published April 2008 and for quite a while he’s been giving talks at international conferences and user groups.
