About the Reviewers

René Brauwers started his IT career at the end of the last century as a web developer/designer and was primarily engaged with building websites using classic ASP. Soon, his focus got more drawn towards developing client/server applications using the 3GL language Centura/Gupta Team Developer. Around the end of 2002, he got involved with the EAI/B2B/B2C/BPM world, starting off with WebMethods and did this for the next three years with an occasional side step to .NET development. This occasional side step got him in touch with BizTalk Server in 2005 and, since then, he has been involved with BizTalk Server and general .NET programming. Currently, he is employed as a senior BizTalk consultant for Motion10 (Motion10.com) in the Netherlands and can be contacted at <rene@brauwers.nl>.
