About the Author(s):
Mac Bride has many years' experience of teaching computing to adults, reflected in the rich content of Your Evening Class. This invaluable teaching background has made him a much sought-after author of computing books in the UK and internationally. Thirty years ago, he was asked to develop onscreen tutorials, with voice-overs, for a computerised teaching system. This led him to computer programming, and now 12 operating systems, 10 languages, several hundred  programs and about 150 books later, he finds himself developing onscreen tutorials with voiceovers – and enjoying himself just as much as ever.
