I’m Dan Maharry, a UK-based editor and writer. I’ve worked for Microsoft, Wiley, APress, Wrox, and many others. I love learning how technology works and discovering how best to teach that with words, code, and pictures. I've been a .NET developer with past stints for the dotCoop TLD registry and various web development houses and I wrote a technical, code-related blog between 1999 and 2012.
These days I’m a development editor for Manning Publications. This allows me to learn ever more about new frameworks and disciplines and to share my experience in writing and teaching with many authors. Currently I’m working on a number of books on web development, data science, and big data.
From 2013 to 2016, I’ve also presented a weekly radio show called Sixalot that plays a mish-mash of metal, rock, electronica, soundtracks and the stuff in between. I also write an occasional newsletter called From Up On Steepness Hill to which you can subscribe here.
