Editing Microsoft Developer Network (section)

=== Dr GUI and the MSDN Writers Team ===
In 1996, [[Bob Gunderson]] began writing a column in ''Microsoft Developer Network News'', edited by [[Andrew Himes]], using the pseudonym "Dr.GUI". The column provided answers to questions submitted by MSDN subscribers. The caricature of Dr. GUI was based on a photo of Gunderson. When he left the MSDN team, [[Dennis Crain]] took over the Dr. GUI role and added medical humor to the column. Upon his departure, Dr. GUI became the composite identity of the original group (most notably Paul Johns) of Developer Technology Engineers that provided in-depth technical articles to the Library. The early members included: Bob Gunderson, [[Dale Rogerson]], [[Rüdiger R. Asche]], [[Ken Lassesen]], Nigel Thompson (a.k.a. Herman Rodent), [[Nancy Cluts]], Paul Johns, Dennis Crain, and [[Ken Bergmann]]. Nigel Thompson was the development manager for Windows Multimedia Extensions that originally added multimedia capabilities to Windows. Renan Jeffreis produced the original system (Panda) to publish MSDN on the Internet and in HTML instead of the earlier multimedia viewer engine. Dale Rogerson, Nigel Thompson and Nancy Cluts all published MS Press books while on the MSDN team. As of August 2010, only Dennis Crain and Dale Rogerson remain employed by Microsoft.
