Jon White is a software engineer who lives and works in the idyllic surroundings of Seattle’s eastern suburbs. An original member of the PowerShell team at Microsoft, his professional career started in the Administrative Tools group in Windows Server. As a hobbyist, Jon learned programming in his early teens after his father bought an 8088-based PC clone at a second-hand shop. The PC came with MS-DOS 2.0, which featured debug.exe with a 16-bit disassembler, but no assembler. As a result, Jon’s first dive into programming was disassembling long tables of bytes to create a reverse-lookup dictionary for manually converting assembly programs into executable binary code. Coincidentally, later in life he filed the bug which removed debug.exe from 64-bit Windows. As a member of the PowerShell team, he wrote the language’s first production script, when he converted the team’s test harness from Perl to PowerShell script in 2004. When he’s not working (or writing about work) he’s either sailing or playing with fire in the backyard. You can contact him at [email protected].
