About Walt Ritscher
I am a seasoned trainer, writer, and speaker who loves learning technology and sharing my discoveries with other technology enthusiasts. Teaching programming and UI development is one of my ongoing passions. I\'ve taught hundreds of courses for universities, colleges, and private training companies. Currently I\'m a senior staff instructor at LinkedIn Learning. My content team produces hundreds of technical training courses for software developers each year. Mostly I create course on Microsoft developer tools and topics. I love speaking at tech conferences, I\'m a frequent speaker at major industry events in Europe, Asia and the Americas. I received the Microsoft MVP award for thirteen years (20••••18) I joined the ranks of video authors in 2002, producing a small series of.NET videos for Microsoft Press. 2010 saw my first video course on Lynda.com. Now I have hundreds of hours of video training courses available at LinkedIn Learning. My current UI obsession revolves around the Windows applications and XAML based languages. If you want to know more about XAML based pixel shaders check out my \"HLSL and Pixel Shaders for XAML Developers\" book available from O\'Reilly Media. I\'m also a big fan of keyboard synthesizers, music composition, digital music and music production. Check out music from my Hummingstone Music label.
