Eric Freeman: Head First JavaScript Programming, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Biografie (Eric Freeman)

Eric Freeman is a computer scientist with a passion for media and software architectures and coauthor of Head First Design Patterns. He just wrapped up four years at a dream job-- directing internet broadband and wireless efforts at Disney--and is now back to writing, creating cool software, and hacking Java and Macs.§Eric spent a lot of the '90s working on alternatives to the desktop metaphor with David Gelernter (and they re both still asking the question, "Why do I have to give a file a name?"). Based on this work, Eric landed a Ph.D. at Yale University in 1997. He also co-founded Mirror Worlds Technologies (now acquired) to create a commercial version of his thesis work, Lifestreams.§In a previous life, Eric built software for networks and supercomputers. §When he s not writing text or code you'll find him spending more time tweaking than watching his home theater and trying to restore a circa 1980s Dragon s Lair video game. He also wouldn t mind moonlighting as an electronica DJ.
