I grew up in Northern Germany and attended the Christian-Albrechts-Universität in Kiel , a harbor town at the Baltic sea. I received a M.S. in computer science from Syracuse University , and a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. For four years, I was VP and CTO of an Internet startup that went from 3 people in a tiny office to a public company. I now teach computer science at San Jose State University . In my copious spare time I write books and articles on Java and computer science education. Click here for a copy of my resume .
