I fell in love with technology at a young age.  Using my family's first computer, it wasn't enough to play games or to see what I could do with some software package.  I needed to know how it worked... what made it tick... how the pieces fit together.

As I grew older and started a career as a software engineer, my curiosity only grew.  That drive to understand the technologies I used to perform my job made me a better technologist.  Sometimes though, the road to deeper understanding was painful.  Sometimes the documentation is difficult to find, scattered among blog posts or forums.

In my books, I share what I have learned throughout nearly two decades as a technology professional.  Each book is a journey that we take together, learning while we build and building while we learn.  After all, building new tech is fun.  Learning something along the way is a bonus.
