In the backroom, José Luis Sánchez, author of avemundi gives a short bio:
My name is José Luis Sánchez. I live in Novelda, Alicante, Spain and I have a degree in IT. I have a passion for IT and I can be counted amongst those who think that programming is the core of IT, its best part. One of my interests is writing software to be used in the home and I publish a blog where I record my experiences and ideas. I admire Joel Spolsky and I believe that he is one of he guys who know most about business.
I program with xHarbour and Fivewin and spend a lot of time working on the design of my programs. If a program does not look good, it will never sell well.
