Simon Harris started writing animated sprites on a Commodore 64 in primary school. After a break of
many years, he taught himself 80x86 and IBM System/370 assembler and started working professionally.
Since then he has moved from assembler to C, C++, and, of course, Java. He believes a fundamental
understanding and appreciation of algorithms is essential to developing good software; and since starting
his own company, RedHill Consulting, he has managed to make a living discussing and demonstrating
software development practices and techniques to anyone who will listen.
In his more than 15 years of development experience, James Ross has ranged from building packaged
