Bio Sketch

Other Published Works 		  About the Author: Vic Broquard
   
  Vic Broquard has over thirty-five years experience in the computer programming field. He has programmed in the engineering arena as well as the business and systems programming areas. For the last twenty years up to the present, he has taught full-time at a Midwestern junior college. He also does Windows programming consulting for several local firms. He has had three Windows programming books published by Prentice Hall and was the primary author for two other published programming books.
   
  In 1999, he received the "Gallion Award" for excellence in teaching. It is an award given by the students each year for the best teacher at the college.
   
  His books reflect his teaching style and attitude. In his words, "I try to communicate the information in a manner that is easily understood by the student. I am application oriented. That means you will not find my books theoretical in nature nor a rewritten language reference manual. Rather, they are very readable and emphasize the actual doingness of programming. My students end up being able to actually write computer programs in the real-world. In the final analysis, the ability of someone to actually "do it" is what is vitally important."
