About the author

My goal is to create inexpensive, high-quality textbooks for high school or college use that can also be valuable for the self-help practitioner.
I started programming almost 50 years ago and am still going strong 500,000 lines of code later.
I have taught Computer Science at Vanderbilt and the Universities of Florida, Wisconsin, Virginia and Mississippi. Also, I worked at MIcrosoft for three years and NASA for two summers. I also had the privilege of teaching elementary school STEAM K-5 for two years.
I have six children and seven grand-children, play soccer twice a week, do LEGO outreach to the community, and lecture on terraforming Mars and on constructing under-ocean cities.
