Don Smith
Don Smith
Currently working as a VB.NET developer in Madison, WI.

I got my Camel Book and started tinkering with Perl in '97 which has led to an ongoing love of all things Perl and O'Reilly.

In my spare time I poke around with Linux and some other F/OSS stuff. I also play guitar, a bit of bass, and frequent rock/punk/metal shows in and around Madison.
