Charles Petzold was born on February 2, 1953, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States.
In 1975, Charles Petzold received a Master of Science from Stevens Institute of Technology.
Charles Petzold started working with computers in the early 1970s, when he personally created a computer with a Z-80 processor to control a musical synthesizer.
Over 20 years, Petzold writes programs and scientific articles. From 1984 to 1986, he was an editor of PC Tutor column at PC Magazine. In 1985 he became an editor of the Microsoft Systems Journal, a position he held until 2000. His article, published in December 1986 in the second issue of this magazine, is considered the first article on programming for Windows. His book Programming Windows was published in six editions between 1988 and 2012, and he also wrote books on OS/2, Windows Forms, the Windows Presentation Foundation, and the C# programming language.
From 2014 to 2018, Chrles worked at Xamarin. While there he wrote a book and documentation about Xamarin.Forms.
Charles Petzold is a Microsoft Windows computer program expert. Through his official guides to the Windows programs as they have evolved during the 1990s, Petzold has made computing applications understandable to millions of specialists and non-specialists alike. In addition, in his articles for PC Magazine Petzold has treated such topics as the Exact Time program for personal computer clocks, the OS/2 Presentation Manager by International Business Machines, and Microsoft’s Windows 95. Petzold was also the contributor of sections on disk operating systems (DOS)-based multitasking systems in Extending DOS, in which he discusses old and new Windows programs.
In 1994, he received the Windows Pioneer Award, established by Windows Magazine and Microsoft, "in recognition of his contribution to the success of Microsoft Windows."

2002In a programming competition under the slogan "Storm the Gates" during a press event to introduce QuickBasic 2.0 in 1986, Petzold finished second behind Bill Gates. The task was a multitasking simulation under MS-DOS. Gates used a QuickBasic 2.0, while the remaining participants were able to choose their language freely. Gates won because QuickBasic contained a graphics library and was superior for the tasks of the Microsoft C used by Petzold.
Physical Characteristics: Petzold carries the Microsoft Windows logo as a tattoo on the right upper arm.
In 2007, Charles married Deirdre Sinnott.
