Walsh is President and CEO of Mantis Development Corporation, a Boston-based software development firm specializing in advanced multimedia and network technologies, and an international best-selling author for IDG Books Worldwide, Inc. Formerly the manager of Boston College's Advanced Technology Group (ATG), Aaron was lead software architect and engineer for a number of advanced technology projects developed at Boston College, including robust client/server technologies that predate the World Wide Web. While at Boston College, Aaron also wrote the core software system for Eagle Eyes, a research project that allows users to navigate their personal computer through eye movement alone. Under development for over four years, Eagle Eyes was selected as a finalist in Discover Magazine's 1994 Awards for Technical Innovation. In 1992, Aaron co-founded Mantis Development Corporation, where he currently leads development of advanced software technologies based on the Java programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. He is the author of several articles for MacTech magazine (formerly MacTutor) and Dr. Dobb's Programming Journal, and has written a number of books for IDG Books Worldwide, including Destination™ Multimedia, Java™ For Dummies®, Foundations™ of Java™ Programming for the World Wide Web, as well as the forthcoming Java™ Bible and Visual InterDev™ For Dummies®.

Aaron is also the chairman of the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) Universal Media Library (UML) working group, a formal VRML Consortium research group. With an immediate mission to "...increase the realism of VRML worlds and decrease network downloads by defining a small, cross-platform library of locally resident media elements (textures, sounds and VRML objects) and a uniform mechanism by which VRML content creators can incorporate these media elements into their worlds," Aaron believes that the technology brought to fruition by his group will ultimately offer significant advantages to the entire World Wide Web. Customer Reviews Should be called "How to use the Applet Tag in HTML", April 13, 2001 Reviewer: A reader from Beverly, MA United States I missed the part that stated that this book was not for programming. It should have been more than 2 words in the synopsis of the book. The whole book (mostly) was how to use the <APPLET> tag. So not what I was looking for. T E R R I B L E !, January 13, 2001 Reviewer: A reader from Snellville, GA, USA I got this book at chapter 11 knowing nothing about java wanting to learn it. i read it and am tottaly lost. it is stupid. it is just a book posing to be a turorial when its not. its just junk to copy out of the book that doesnt even work. so make sure u dont get it! Weak Java, January 13, 2000 Reviewer: David R. Cox from South Carolina Maybe I just missed something on the back cover, but this book doesn't teach you anything about Java. While I liked HTML for Dummies, this one is incorrectly titled. It should have been How to Use One Little Statement in HTML. All that's covered is how to use the <APPLET> command. If, like me, you want to learn how to write applets, you'll need another book. A waste of time and money, December 30, 1999 Reviewer: Tige, the meek from New York This is the dummest dummies book ever written. It says the same thing over and over again in 350 plus pages. I took nothing away from this book except a feeling of having been duped into buying it. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. |
