Biography: Stefan Meisner Larsen

I have been writing software for more than two decades and in a dozen or so different programming languages. I work as a consultant, and my current primary interests are Android and J2E application programming. Over the years I have been working quite a lot with software processes and have been glad to discover, that there is a lot in common between the process of writing excellent software and the process of brewing excellent beer - both goals I try to achieve.
 
Software Passion: Writing software with the right viscosity

Android is everywhere these days, and as a software developer you probably will find Android to be a pretty cool platform. Around Android is an introduction to Android seen from the perspective of a software programmer.
