Jamis Buck
@jamis
This month, we have the pleasure of spotlighting author Jamis Buck, who has written Mazes for Programmers and The Ray Tracer Challenge. These books help us remember why we started coding, and the joy and fun programming can deliver.
This is also an AMA. Everyone commenting or asking a question will automatically be entered into our draw to win one of his books!
Without further ado…
