About
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 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 Cafe au Lait web site at http://www.cafeaulait.org has become one of the most popular independent Java sites on the Internet, and his spin-off site Cafe con Leche at http://www.cafeconleche.org has become one of the most popular XML sites. His books include Java I/O, Java Network Programming, the XML Bible, and XML in a Nutshell. He’s currently working on the XOM Library for processing XML with Java, the jaxen XPath engine, and the Amateur media player. He’s available for consulting, training, and custom writing.
