Clayton Walnum

Clayton Walnum is a programmer who has written multiple books about programming in C#, DirectX and C++.

Clayton Walnum started programming computers in 1982, when he traded an IBM Selectric typewriter to buy an Atari 400 computer with 16K of RAM. He was hired as a Technical Editor for Atari 8-bit magazine ''ANALOG Computing'' in 1985, eventually becoming Executive Editor before leaving in 1989, the year the publication folded. He authored a number of type-in games for ''ANALOG'', including ''Dragonlord'' (1985) and ''Moonlord'' (1986), mostly written in Atari BASIC.

Walnum has since acquired a degree in computer science, and written over 30 books (translated into many languages). He is also the author of hundreds of magazine articles and software reviews, as well as a large number of programs. Provided by Wikipedia
