Extreme Software Developer

Christopher Redinger
An Extreme, Test-Driven Software Developer, Christopher has been programming since the mid-90s, when he cut his teeth on Perl while working his way through college in Maine. After putting in his time in the dot-com world, with the stock options to prove it, he made the jump to consulting. During that time he used the myriad of available Java based web frameworks and came to the conclusion that there must be a better way. That better way for him started with the "Agile Manifesto", and peaked with "Getting Real" and Ruby on Rails.

Christopher is now running his Ruby on Rails consulting business in balmy North Carolina where he resides with his family, to whom he devotes much of his free time. More can be read at his online presence at http://www.agiledisciple.com.
