When he’s not doing these things, he programs in a variety of languages and platforms, including websites and systems in Python, and libraries for linguistics and statistics in C#. Currently, he is exploring functional programming languages, including Clojure and Haskell. He works at Scholars’ Lab in the library at the University of Virginia, helping humanities professors and graduate students realize their digitally informed research agendas. He is also the author of Mastering Clojure Data Analysis, Packt Publishing.
I’d like to thank everyone. My technical reviewers proved invaluable. Also, thank you to the editorial staff at Packt Publishing. This book is much stronger because of all of their feedback, and any remaining deficiencies are mine alone.
A special thanks to Jackie, Melina, and Micah. They’ve been patient and supportive while I worked on this project. It is, in every way, for them.
