About

My name is Chris Anderson and I am a software developer based in Sydney, Australia.  I have a consulting company called Snazzy Software.  I have been a developer for over 15 years (professionally), and have worked across a wide range of technologies, specialising in building desktop, web, and mobile business applications for industries as wide ranging as accounting, property valuation, mining, the fresh produce industry, logistics, field services, sales, construction, education, and software development tools.

After spending recent years developing primarily in WPF and Silverlight, these days I’ve moved onto working with JavaScript technologies, mining the huge potential they have for developing awesome business applications now that they’ve finally come of age.

I’m the author of three books – Professional Visual Studio 2010 for Wrox (as a co-author), Pro Business Applications with Silverlight 4, and Pro Business Applications with Silverlight 5 (for Apress).

I’ve spoken at various conferences including Code Camp Australia, TechEd Australia, Silverlight Code Camp Australia, REMIX Australia, and numerous Sydney Silverlight Designer and Developer Network (SDDN) meetings.

I am available for consulting work – if you are interested please contact me here.
