ABOUT THE AUTHOR
PATRICK ALESSI has been fascinated with writing computer programs since he first saw his name flash across a terminal in 1980. Since then, he has written software using every language and hardware platform that he could get his hands on, including a brief and painful foray into Fortran on a VAX system during his engineering education. Patrick holds a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering from Rutgers University and an M.S. in Computer Science from Stevens Institute of Technology.
Professionally, Patrick has focused on data-centric applications for clients ranging from small business databases to large-scale systems for the United States Air Force. Currently, he is focused on the promise of mobility and developing connected applications for mobile devices such as the iPhone and iPad.
When he can back away from the computer, Patrick enjoys photography, traveling, and doing just about anything with his family. You can follow him on Twitter at pwalessi and read his blog at iphonedevsphere.blogspot.com.
