Grid, Alan: - Alan Grid is an American software developer and analyst. While he was studying for his Master's degree in Computer Science at Stanford University, Alan was recruited by a well-known Silicon Valley-based company. In the years to follow, Alan developed and honed his skills in a highly competitive environment. He's been involved in global projects where he got to apply and test cutting-edge technologies. Alan quickly climbed the corporate ladder and became a senior team lead, working closely with CTOs and shareholders. With a keen and analytical mind, Alan became the problem-solver anyone could turn to when the project hits a wall. In August 2017, Alan met his wife Salma H. Konej. A passionate psychology teacher, Salma shared her love of teaching with Alan. It was her unrelenting commitment to knowledge and education that inspired Alan to start writing books. He sat down and sifted through years of experience working with tech giants, putting together a collection of knowledge achieved in years of studies and real-life applications. Being familiar with the entire development process front to back, Alan wrote four programming language books that are suitable for beginners and experts alike.
