Darin Adler has
- been programming computers since 1976. He loves to do it.
His first major professional experience was at Apple Computer. In 1988 he led the team that rewrote - the Macintosh Finder in C++. Before that project was completed, he was - shanghaied to be the technical lead for the System 7 project (these days - they would call it "Mac OS 7"). The group he formed to help him do that, - the Blue Meanies, is still a legend - in the Apple community.
- -Since Apple, Darin has worked at General Magic as an architect of the - Magic Cap OS, used - the moniker Bent Spoon Software to do - consulting, and helped start Eazel, a company that worked to make Linux - easier to use and developed the Nautilus graphical shell for GNOME. Since 1997, he has worked from his home - in Los Angeles, CA, collaborating with clients and coworkers in other - locations.
- -He prefers to use and program Macintosh computers with C++. But work on - the GNOME project is best accomplished with a non-Macintosh PC. (That's why - Darin is sitting in front of two computers.) - The other people working on the GNOME project don't like C++, so he's - writing a lot of C code these days.
- -The larger - version of his picture shows him hard at work with his C++ guru, his - daughter Sophia.
- -He has hobbies and stuff but you don't want to read about that here.

- Telefónica Group, where he leads a small group of engineers working on
- advanced mobile services. Though actual programming is not one of his
- job responsibilities, he still does some C++ for fun when nobody's
- around.
Joaquín's professional career began with his first exposure to a
- Dragon 32 (a Tandy TRS-80 clone) at the age of 13, though at the time he
- probably was unaware of the future impact of this event. He enjoys
- Mathematics, Logic and Latin; his lower case interests include paper

Joel got into electronics
- and programming in the 80s because almost everything in music, his first
- love, is becoming electronic and digital. Back then, he used to build his
- own guitars, effect boxes and synths. He enjoys playing distortion-laden
- rock guitar, composes and produces his own music in his home studio.
In the 90s, he went to Japan and worked there as a software engineer. - There, he learned C++ and immediately fell in love it. He's still trying - his best to master the language in all its immensity.
- -Joel is quite adept in writing code using modern C++ techniques such as
- template metaprogramming and C++ functional programming. He's very happy
- and enthusiastic with his current job as a consultant and engineer at
- Boost Consulting.

- -He is married, and not just to his work. He and Carolyn have one child,
- Stefan. The little spare time that remains to him is taken up with music,
- reading, pub appreciation, etc. Although with a newborn, there is more
- reading and less pub appreciation (pubs are still appreciated, but more in

Ralf is a crystallographer. He has a
- degree in Mineralogy (Bochum,
- Germany), and a Ph.D. in Crystallography (ETH Zurich ,
- Switzerland). Real Mineralogists and Crystallographers run experiments with
- x-rays and hardware that is not normally associated with C++ and Boost.
- However, when Ralf kept breaking the expensive experimental equipment too
- often, he decided that he would cause less damage as a computational
- crystallographer.
Being a scientist, Ralf spent most of his life programming in Fortran, - the great grand-father of all good programming languages (if you know - Backus-Naur you know the name of the inventor - of Fortran). Ralf is a co-author of the CNS Fortran program that is very popular in - structural biology. When he learned that a real programmer can write - Fortran in any language, Ralf knew that it was time for him to learn C++. - Of course, absorbing four decades of progress in the field of computer - science all at once crashed his brain. To be able to deal with the - challenge, he spawned two child processes and named them Lisa and Anna. To - see Lisa, click on the picture and turn your monitor by 180 degrees around - the view axis. (Other pictures of Lisa and Anna do not require - gymnastics with the monitor.)
- -Right now, Ralf is working for the Computational Crystallography Initiative at the
- Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in
- California. The goal of this initiative is to write a software system for
- high-throughput protein crystal structure determination, also known as
- Structural
- Genomics. Surprisingly, the gestation period for such a system turns
- out to be much longer than it was for Lisa and Anna. However, pre-natal
- diagnosis already revealed that Python and C++ are the parents-to-be. For
- an ultra-sound image of the new system at its early developmental stage

If
- we are to believe MBTI tests, Vesa is an
- INTJ. He has been like that probably since late 1978-1979, because,
- according to some sources, it takes 2-3 years to develop the basic temperament.
- Previously he saw himself mostly as a "builder of systems" and
- "applier of theoretical models", but nowadays he is beginning to see
- the "mastermind" aspect of his personality. As a
- "Free-Thinker", his mind hardly ever rests.
Vesa enjoys healthy and sustainable ways of life. He is a vegetarian and likes - cooking. Exercise is a daily part of his life - he needs to be in good shape in - order to sit all day in work. He likes going to the gym, swimming, spinning, - running, roller skating, etc... He also practices dancing.
-For the past years, he has been working in a small - company that develops console games. His role is the development of - software technology, such as class libraries, frameworks and tools, for making - games. He doesn't see himself as a game or a graphics programmer, although he - has been involved in quite a few such projects. For the past few years, most of - his programming has been in C++, but recently he has also enjoyed writing some - Ocaml.
-He likes buying technical books using the company credit card, but lately he - hasn't had the time to read as much as he would like (hopefully this changes - soon). He likes reading (a lot) computer science and software engineering, but - also psychology, philosophy and various self-help books, because he knows that - all the really hard problems are social - not technical. Fantasy is also close - to his heart.
-Vesa is a bit ambivalent about his university studies. He is a self-educated - programmer and has experience ranging from bit twiddling to generative - programming and also leading of small teams. Like many of his close colleagues, - he sees that the depth of computer science education, at least in Finland, is, - frankly, insufficient. He'll probably complete his studies some day, because - sadly most people respect authority by rank, title or publication far more than - he does.
-Vesa is an eXtreme Programmer. He has found out that in order for pair - programming to work, both pairs must share a similar level of experience and - must be both willing and able to externalize their thoughts. If he is sometimes - forced to stop refactoring, he'll probably quit his job. He thinks that - optimization, including improving readability and simplifying structure, is the - root of all fun in programming. He dislikes writing documentation and reports - that are never read.
-One of his friends coerced him to use the image that you see on this page. The - image was scanned from a rather worn out picture taken by an ex-girlfriend and - is probably the only picture of Vesa having his natural smile. Vesa is neither - married nor engaged, but just recently he met a very nice girl... While - programming is interesting and fun, it is love that really makes him happy. ;)

Vladimir Prus is a PhD student at Moscow State
- University. He's supposed to do some research about program analysis,
- processors and graphs, but also has various other interests, like software
- engineering tools and compilers.
Volodya would probably spend all his time staring at the monitor and
- haunting MSU corridors, but luckily is married and hardly can be seen in
- front of a computer on weekends. He's not into any extreme sports, and
- spends spare time going to cinema or just walking with his wife Caroline in
- quiet parts of Moscow.
