Steve Hayman
Steve is a National Consulting Engineer with Apple 's Education Team based in Toronto. Steve specializes in Apple's developer tools for both the iPhone and Mac. Prior to Apple, Steve worked with that other Steve at NeXT Computer, where he first fell in love with the combination of powerful object-oriented development tools and a great Unix core; before that he was Network Manager at Indiana University; before that he picked up an M.Math at Waterloo, and before that he had a summer job painting construction equipment. Steve is delighted that Apple's blend of Unix and OO is reaching many more users than NeXT's tools ever did, and although he enjoys a good "vi vs. emacs" argument as much as any Unix geek, he's even more intrigued with what you can do with strong OO tools and libraries. Steve is particularly fond of the WebKit open source objects included in Mac OS X 10.5 and has built and thrown away dozens of different web browsers as a result.
