C# and Python are his languages of choice. Smalltalk is his mentor for simplicity and beauty. C++ is to programming what drills are to visits to the dentist.
He worked for longer than he cares to remember as Lead Programmer and System Architect of the Objective document management system. (www.objective.com)
He has lived for 10 years in northern Mozambique, teaching in villages.
