Bruno Evangelista is a lead programmer at Tectoy Digital (http://www.ttd.com). Prior to his current employment, he was a graphics programmer at Ilusis (http://www.ilusis.com) and a software engineer at Olympya (http://olympya.com).
As an XNA developer, Bruno had been finalist of the first and second Microsoft XNA Challenge Brazil. He also maintains an open source skeletal animation library for XNA, named XNAnimation (http://www.codeplex.com/xnanimation).

Alexandre Lobão is a passionate man. His first passion was reading, starting with large books--Mark Twain, Érico Veríssimo, Jules Verne, Monteiro Lobato, Alexandre Dumas, and others--when he was seven. When he was twelve, he discovered his two next passions: playing and creating games (by that time on his first Apple computer), and writing. Many years later--he's about forty now--these passions flourish. Now he's a teacher of academic game development courses, has written four books on the topic, and has participated in some Brazilian game development contests both as a contestant and as a judge. He has also written short story books, children's books, and young adult books, and in 2008 he released his first romance, The Name of the Eagle, currently only available in Portuguese. And, of course, he still loves to read, from Ken Follett to Paulo Coelho. His ultimate passions--starting in 1995 and still burning now--are his wife, Waléria, and his kids, Natália and Rafael. Alexandre believes that lives needs passion to be lived entirely, and hopes that this book helps light this passion in readers' hearts. You can find his work at http://www.AlexandreLobao.com.

He has worked on many diverse gaming projects in Europe and the US. In 2004 he received the Most Valuable Professional award from Microsoft for his contributions to the Brazilian coding community.
