About the author

   
John English (email: je@brighton.ac.uk or J.English@brighton.ac.uk) is a Senior Lecturer in Computing at the University of Brighton. He has been teaching at the University since 1985, and is a member of the BCS and the ACM. His interests cover programming systems in general, including programming languages, operating systems, computer architecture, hardware design, networks, real-time systems and object-oriented programming. He also has a number of active consultancy links with industry to prevent him from becoming "someone who doesn't know how to do" who teaches.

He believes that information is a resource that should be freely available to all, and this CD is an expression of this belief. He would like to thank all those who feel similarly and have given permission for their work to be redistributed here. He feels that the Information Age requires us all to do our best to be net producers (if you'll pardon the pun :-) instead of sitting back and being passive consumers, and that monetary rewards are not the only reason for doing things.

Go on, contribute something and enrich yourself in the new informational economy of the world!
