Dylan does interesting things with computers, code, music, video, and comedy, then travels around the world telling stories about it. He's been building data-driven web applications since the 1990s; he’s managed teams, taught workshops, and worked on everything from tiny standalone websites to complex distributed systems. He’s a Microsoft MVP, he runs the London .NET User Group, and he regularly speaks at conferences and user groups all over the world.
Dylan is the creator of the Rockstar esoteric programming language, and is often found at a conference after-party performing software-themed parodies of classic rock songs with The Linebreakers. He’s online at dylanbeattie.net and on Twitter as @dylanbeattie.
