William Davis wrote his first program in 1967, back in the days when the title "hacker" was considered a compliment. In 1971, he joined the faculty at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he began as a teacher who writes and evolved into a writer who teaches. Professor Davis is a very successful author whose previously published texts include Computing Fundamentals: Concepts, Systems Analysis and Design, Productivity Tools, and The NECEN Voyage.
