Authors of Head First Android Development

Dawn Griffiths started life as a mathematician at a top UK university, where she was awarded a first-class honors degree in mathematics. She went on to pursue a career in software development and has 20 years experience working in the IT industry.
Before writing Head First Android Development, Dawn wrote three other Head First books (Head First Statistics, Head First 2D Geometry and Head First C) and has also worked on a host of other books in the series.
When Dawn’s not working on Head First books, you’ll find her honing her Tai Chi skills, reading, running, making bobbin lace, or cooking. She particularly enjoys spending time with her wonderful husband, David.

David Griffiths began programming at age 12, when he saw a documentary on the work of Seymour Papert. At age 15, he wrote an implementation of Papert’s computer language LOGO. After studying pure mathematics at university, he began writing code for computers and magazine articles for humans. He’s worked as an agile coach, a developer, and a garage attendant, but not in that order. He can write code in over 10 languages and prose in just one, and when not writing, coding, or coaching, he spends much of his spare time traveling with his lovely wife—and coauthor—Dawn.
