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 products to large enterprise systems to research into compilers and languages. In recent years, he has become a code quality fanatic and agile methods specialist, particularly with test-driven development. He works as a consultant for ThoughtWorks, the world’s leading agile software development company. He is currently leading the development of a large J2EE project in the insurance industry in Melbourne, Australia. He lives with his wife and family in Melbourne.
