Ed Burnette
Ed Burnette has been hooked on computers ever since he laid eyes on a TRS-80 in the local Radio Shack. Since graduating from NC State University he has programmed everything from serial device drivers and debuggers to web servers. After a delightful break working on commercial video games, Ed reluctantly returned to business software. He currently develops OLAP servers and clients written in a mixture of C and Java.
In his copious spare time, Ed enjoys learning and writing about Open Source, Java, and Eclipse. He has written several articles and books on Eclipse, most recently the Eclipse IDE Pocket Guide from O'Reilly. He is an Eclipse committer, founding editor of EclipseZone.com, and former chief editor of the Eclipse Corner articles section at Eclipse.org.
