Ivor Horton
graduated as a mathematician and was lured into information technology
by promises of great rewards for very little work. In spite of the
reality being usually a great deal of work for relatively modest
rewards, he has continued to work with computers to the present day. He
has been engaged at various times in programming, systems design,
consultancy, and the management of the implementation of projects of
considerable complexity.
Horton has many years of experience in the design and implementation of
computer systems applied to engineering design and to manufacturing
operations in a variety of industries. He has considerable experience
developing occasionally useful applications in a wide variety of
programming languages, and teaching primarily scientists and engineers
to do likewise. He has been writing books on programming for more than
10 years now, and his currently published works include tutorials on C,
C++, and Java. At the present time, when he is not writing programming
books or providing advice to others, he spends his time fishing,
traveling, and trying to speak better French.
