About Verity Stob

Verity Stob has been a programmer since 1984 and a columnist since 1988. Her column appeared in the cult (i.e. defunct) British programming journal .EXE Magazine until 2000, and has since adorned the granddaddy of programmers' rags, Dr. Dobb's Journal. Stob's work has also appeared on the popular IT news website, The Register. Miss Stob lives and works in London, U.K. Her face remains hidden.
