About the author

Fiona Gatt has worked in the tech industry for over a decade and has extensive experience writing guides on computing products for end users. Ironically, Fiona's academic training is in history, politics, fiction writing and editing; the career in IT was somewhat of an accident.

Like everybody, Fiona lives and works with technology without ever apparently having decided to do so. This gives her writing style a unique inside angle, tempered with accessible language, which she peppers with humor to help bridge the gap between inside industry knowledge and the real world application of tech.
