JEFFREY PALERMO is a father of two (Gwyneth Rose and Xan-der) and a lucky husband. In his spare time, he enjoys playing the guitar badly and learning about business. In the business world, he is the President and COO of Headspring, an Austin-based software consulting firm. Jeffrey has led the growth of Headspring’s consulting practice from a boutique develop-ment company to a multi-million dollar custom-software firm.

Recognizing software history, trends, fads, and the constant pendulum swing that is the technology industry, Jeffrey is always searching for a better way to build software where he can use new lessons without discarding the advances of the past. Often ignoring industry fads, he advocates for a moderate, simple approach.

Jeffrey has been recognized by Microsoft as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) since 2006. He has spoken and facilitated at industry conferences such as VSLive, DevTeach, the Microsoft MVP Summit, various ALT.NET conferences, and Microsoft Tech Ed. He also speaks to user groups around the country as part of the INETA Speakers’ Bureau. A graduate of Texas A&M University, an Eagle Scout, and an Iraq war veteran, Jeffrey is currently studying in the MBA program at the Jack Welch Management Institute.

Jeffrey Palermo is responsible for the popular “Party with Palermo” events that often precede major Microsoft-focused conferences. Started in June of 2005, Party with Palermo has grown in popularity and size. Typical events host hundreds of peo-ple for free drinks, finger food, and door prizes. It’s the perfect way to hook up with

friends and colleagues before the conference week begins. You can see past and upcoming parties at http://partywithpalermo.com, where the website has run on ASP.NETMVC since October 2007.

Finally, Jeffrey, along with Eric Hexter, cofounded the MvcContrib open source project, which today finds its home at the Microsoft-seeded CodePlex Foundation as the first non-Microsoft project to be admitted in the non-profit software foundation.

JIMMY BOGARD is a Technical Architect at Headspring. He is an Agile software developer with six years of professional develop-ment experience. He has delivered solutions from conception to production for many clients, solutions that range from shrink-wrapped products to enterprise e-commerce applica-tions for Fortune 100 customers. He is also a Microsoft Certi-fied Application Developer (MCAD) and is an active member in the .NET community, leading open source projects, giving technical presentations, and facilitating technical book clubs.

Currently, Jimmy is the lead developer on the NBehave project (a behavior-driven development framework for .NET) and AutoMapper (a convention-based object-to-object mapper), and he’s the facilitator of the Austin Domain-Driven Design Book Club. Jimmy is a member of the ASPInsiders and C# Insiders groups, and he received the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for ASP.NET in 2009.

ERIC HEXTER has been developing software professionally for 15+ years in consulting, product development, corporate IT, and for premium brand web sites and e-commerce. He is a huge advocate of Agile project management and software engineering practices. Eric has learned the hard way that writ-ing untestable, tightly coupled code gets you nowhere fast. In fact, that type of code usually keeps one in the same spot, unable to change and adapt software to the ever-changing needs of the business that uses said software.

Eric is very active in the Austin developer community. He is a Director for the Aus-tin .NET Users Group. He has run the Austin Code Camp, which is a one-day devel-oper conference, since 2007. In addition to his position in the Austin .NET Users Group, Eric has held the following positions: INETA Membership Mentor for South Texas, ASP-Insider, Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in ASP.NET, and founder of the Community for MVC virtual user group. Along with Javier Lazano, Eric cofounded the Community for MVC, a virtual user group focused on ASP.NET MVC. Eric cofounded the MVCConf, the largest online ASP.NET MVC one-day conference (mvcconf.com). He blogs with Los Techies, a community-focused technology blog-ging community, and he speaks to user groups and at technology conferences around Texas and the U.S.

Eric is blessed to have a beautiful wife (Chriss) and three lovely daughters (Emerson, Elliott, and Everlee). He spends as much quality time with his family as he possibly can.

MATT HINZE is a programmer and software designer from Aus-tin, Texas. He has successfully delivered technical courses to software developers since 2005. He is also a full-time developer working in the trenches on major software projects. Matt is an ASPInsider and Microsoft MVP for C#. He works at Sogeti on a large e-commerce implementation in Round Rock, and lives in the North Austin suburbs with his wife and son.

JEREMY SKINNER is a UK-based software developer primarily specializing in web application development with ASP.NET MVC and C#. He is involved with several open source projects including MvcContrib and FluentValidation, as well as being a member of the Microsoft ASPInsiders group.
