Perl Resource Kit Win32 Edition

David Futato has a bachelor of science in creative writing from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, so -- with such a unique degree -- O'Reilly seemed like the logical choice; David has worked as a production editor at O'Reilly for more than two years. Stepping to the other side of the fence for the Perl Resource Kit, this is David's first full writing/editorial assignment.

Erik Olson is a renegade linguist who makes a living developing software for Win32 platforms. Erik is currently the chief technical officer at Axiom Technologies, LC, a software outsourcing shop. Erik delivers developer training, system administration, and program/concept development for a number of large-scale horizontal and vertical applications. Working as a program developer since 1986, Erik has implemented a variety of systems ranging from point-of-sales systems to horizontal PIM products to real-time financial market applications. Although much of his work is done in C++, he has particular interests in Web development and scripting languages. Erik coauthored Learning Perl on Win32 Systems with Tom Christiansen and Randal Schwartz.

Not content to enjoy the relaxed life of a coffee house operator and student, Brian made his way to Wall Street, where he remained cleverly disguised as a database programmer for many years.
