designing and writing systems and application software for AIX, Linux, Windows, and
Macintosh OS X for the last ten years using primarily C, C++, Perl, Bash, Korn Shell, and
Python. The constant need of working on multiple platforms naturally led Cody to the
wxPython toolkit, which he has been using intensely for that last ve years. Cody has been
primarily using wxPython for his open source project, Editra, which is a cross-platform
development tool. He is interested in promoting cross-platform development practices
and improving usability in software.
