Andrew Hancock (hanccocka)
Last year, we described Andrew Hancock (hanccocka) as "prolific", but he followed up last year's production by writing 21 articles this year, one more than he wrote in 2012. His articles are easily identified with the common theme of "How To:..."; they're clear, informative and well-written, but most of all, they're a consistent series about a popular and important topic. He is an easy pick for Author of the Year. |

mark_wills
It's difficult to single out any contribution mark_wills (also known as will_see has made that hasn't had a major impact on Experts Exchange. Mark is a three-time Microsoft MVP who has guided the maturation of the Articles system and has lent his three decades of experience to assisting not only members with problems that need to be solved, but to helping Experts Exchange build its plans for future development and growth. |
