Elliotte Rusty Harold

Elliotte is originally from New Orleans to which he returns periodically in search of a decent bowl of gumbo. However, he currently resides in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn with his wife Beth, dog Shayna, and cats Charm (named after the quark) and Marjorie (named after his mother-in-law). He’s an adjunct professor of computer science at Polytechnic University where he teaches Java, XML, and object oriented programming. His books include Java I/O, Java Network Programming, the XML Bible, and XML in a Nutshell. His next book will be Refactoring HTML from Addison-Wesley. He’s currently working on the XOM Library for processing XML with Java, and the jaxen XPath engine.
