Bruce Eckel

Bruce Eckel (born July 8, 1957) is the author of numerous books and articles about computer programming. He also gives frequent lectures and seminars for computer programmers. His best known works are "Thinking in Java" and "Thinking in C++", aimed at programmers wanting to learn the Java or C++ programming languages, particularly those with little experience of object-oriented programming. Most reviewers consider the books to be better written and more pedagogic than most introductory textsFact|date=February 2007. Mr. Eckel was a founding member of the ANSI/ISO C++ standard committee. Eckel has since made both the forementioned books available for all to download freely.
