Douglas J. Reilly

A sad note: on December 23, Douglas J. Reilly, who blogged for Dr. Dobb's Portal on Database and Mobility topics, lost his long and heroic battle with cancer. We join with the large community of friends and colleagues who mourn his passing.

Doug was a first-generation microcomputer guy -- an Atari 8-bit early adopter who branched out quickly into Microsoft and eventually into mobile and pocket PC development. As owner of Access Microsystems, Inc., his most recent work was in Visual C++, Borland Delphi and the .NET Framework (C# and Visual Basic .NET). Also a prolific wordsmith, Doug authored the book Programming Microsoft Web Forms, numerous articles published in Dr. Dobb’s Journal and Software Development magazine, and was a much-read blogger on CMP's sites, and in other forums. A complete obituary will be posted on www.ddj.com shortly.
