Conforme prometido no início das vendas do TECH ED 2007 , seguem alguns dos nossos convidados especias do evento !!!!!!

Mark Minasi, MR&D (www.minasi.com)

Mark Minasi is a best-selling author, popular technology columnist, commentator, keynote speaker, and all-around alpha geek. What separates him from many of the other alpha geeks, however, is that he knows how to explain things to normal humans and often make them laugh while doing it.  That's reflected in his recent Reader's Choice award for "Favorite Technical Author" at CertCities.  More testimony to his popularity with tech world came at a recent SearchWin2000 webcast on tuning computers.  At that webcast, Mark drew three times as many attendees as any previous webcast, crashing Yahoo!'s servers.

He is probably best known for his books in the Mastering series (Mastering Windows Server 2003, Mastering Windows NT Server, Mastering Windows 2000 Server, Mastering XP Professional, etc) and his perennial hardware PC repair and fix-it book The Complete PC Upgrade and Maintenance Guide, now in its 13th edition.  His monthly columns in Windows and .NET Magazine are among the best-read in the periodical.  Mark has also authored 19 other technology books, spoken on technical topics in 20 countries, and written and performed in a dozen technical education videos.
