Author: Duncan, Christopher
Christopher Duncan is a veteran contract programmer with more than a decade of experience in both small companies and large corporate environments, such as AT&T, Equifax, and Bell South. Irreverent, unconventional, and occasionally controversial, his focus has always been less on the academic and more on simply delivering the goods, breaking any rules that happen to be inconvenient.
