About the Author

Matteo Pagani is a developer with a strong passion about mobile development and a strong focus on the Windows platform. After graduating in computer science in 2007, he started his first job experience as a web developer.

He started to share his knowledge with other developers by co-founding a local community, opening a blog, writing articles for Microsoft and other independent technical websites, and speaking at technical conferences across Europe and the United States like TechReady, Microsoft Tech Summit, .NET Spain Conference, MVP Summit, Codemotion, WPC, and more.

He is the author of many books about Windows Phone, Windows, and Universal Windows Platform apps development.

He has been a Microsoft MVP in the Windows Platform Development category and a Nokia Developer Champion for almost 5 years (from 2011 to 2014) until, in November 2014, he joined Microsoft as a Windows AppConsult Engineer, supporting developers from all over the world in bringing their apps to the Windows ecosystem.
