Ian F. Darwin

Ian has worked in the computer field for decades, on devices ranging in size from IBM mainframes down to pocket-sized devices like Android. He's written several O'Reilly books over the years, including the long-ago "Checking C Programs with Lint", the "Java Cookbook" which was translated into at least ten languages, and the "Android Cookbook". Ian also develops and teaches technology courses for companies like Learning Tree International and runs his own consultancy, RejmiNet Group Inc. He lives on a hobby farm north of Toronto with his wife, a cat and (formerly) some chickens - which explains, at long last, the animal on the cover of the Java Cookbook.
