Founders
Wintellect was founded by four men, three of whom are developers who share a passion
for writing .NET software and doing it right - Jeff Prosise, John Robbins, Jeffrey Richter, and veteran businessman
Lewis Frazer.
Experience
In addition to writing programming books for Microsoft Press and columns and articles
for MSDN Magazine, our technical founding partners have been involved in the development
of dozens of commercial software products. They are aided by hand-picked experts
from all over the industry, most of whom are authors themselves and have demonstrated
their communications skills in the classroom and at programming conferences. If
you have a problem that no one else can solve, need training to get your developers
up to speed on a new technology, or simply need help picking from the various tools
and technologies available, give us a call.
Background
Wintellect is a consulting/debugging and training firm that specializes in .NET
and Windows technologies whose mission is to help companies build better software,
faster. The company was founded in spring 2000 by three developers — Jeff Prosise,
Jeffrey Richter, and John Robbins — and businessman Lewis Frazer.
An eclectic team with the right chemistry, the success of Wintellect is partially
attributed to each founder’s unique background. As the former CFO for Regal Cinemas
and the president of several software technology companies, Lewis Frazer has an
outstanding track record of guiding regionally-based companies to a national scale.
Jeffrey Richter is a Microsoft proclaimed “Software Legend” and a hobbyist magician.
John Robbins is an MSDN Magazine columnist
known by readers as “The Bugslayer” and a former United States Army Green Beret.
And Jeff Prosise is a former aerospace engineer who worked on earth-and-space-based
laser systems for Star Wars before he became a computer programmer. Jeffrey, John
and Jeff are all best selling MS Press authors who have been involved in the development
of dozens of major commercial software applications used by millions of people.
Wintellect's technical staff consists of some of the most respected names in
the programming industry. Instructors include Jeffrey Richter, John Robbins, Jeff Prosise, Kenn Scribner, Peter DeBetta, Richard Hundhausen, David Shoots, Tom Schraer, Steven Porter, Walt Ritscher, Donis Marshall, Keith Nicholson, Paul Mehner, Sergio Loscialo, Keith Rome, Charles Petzold, Rik Robinson, and Andy Hopper.
Wintellect instructors have authored more than 30 software development books and
thousands of articles and columns for nearly all major software development magazines
including MSDN Magazine and
PC Magazine. Our staff has been the featured speakers at preeminent software
development conferences around the world such as the Microsoft PDC, Microsoft Tech-Ed,
Devscovery, DevWeek,
and WinSummit.
Core Business
Wintellect’s core businesses include training, consulting and debugging with clients
such as Microsoft, Intel, eBay, Rockwell, Hewlett Packard, Intuit,
UPS, FedEx, and AutoDesk.
In October, 2003, Wintellect formed a new division called Devscovery Conferences,
created to offer regionally-based training at an affordable price to developers
across the U.S.
Devscovery is a three-day in-depth .NET conference designed with the intermediate
to advanced developer in mind. Wintellect’s Jeffrey Richter, Jeff Prosise and John
Robbins show attendees how to program better, smarter and faster with the technology
today and gain a better understanding of the tools that will be available tomorrow.
The aim of the three-day conferences is to arm attendees with enough knowledge and
information to be better programmers when they return to work. Devscovery is limited
to less than 200 attendees, enabling them to spend time with the instructors and
other developers in between sessions. Plus, attendees have the opportunity to sign
up for one-on-one sessions with the instructor of their choice on a space-available
basis. For conference pricing, dates and locations please visit
