Clayton Walnum is a writer of many books about programming in C#, DirectX and C++.

Clayton Walnum started programming computers in 1982, when he traded an IBM Selectric typewriter to buy an Atari 400 computer with 16K of RAM. He was hired as a Technical Editor for Atari 8-bit computer magazine ANALOG Computing in 1985, eventually becomingExecutive Editor before leaving in 1989, the year the publication folded.
