This post is a little long-winded, so please bear with me.
The book you see here is the text from the first hard-core programming course I took in college. The class was taught by Prof. Alva Couch, a great teacher who got me started in the right direction toward my career.
One of my office’s summer interns from last year is a Tufts student, and has continued working on the intern project part-time for us during the school year. He’s taking a course with Couch this semester that is highly relevant to the intern project.
This is all a long-winded way of saying that I had a video conference with Prof. Couch today. I was hugely flattered that he remembered me, 28 years after that first course.
