Evan Light’s Summary
Evan Light has been a professional software developer for the past 14 years most of which were dedicated to developing applications for commercial and government enterprises. Having spent several years using C and even more using Java and J2EE (the latter very nearly causing him to give up the software development career path entirely), he considers himself fortunate to have discovered Ruby and to be using it as part of his daily work for more than two years. Evan is a passionate advocate of developing readable and maintainable code which likely explains his predilection to "spread the gospel" of Ruby to nearly any software developer who will listen.
