About the Reviewers

Dave Hersey has over 35 years of experience in Apple software development, dating back to the Apple II personal computer in 1977. In 2000, after more than six years in software engineering at Apple, Dave started Paracoders, Inc., focusing on custom Mac OS X-based application and driver development. In 2008, Dave's company expanded into iOS (iPhone) mobile applications, followed by Android applications soon after. Some bigger named clients include Paramount Home Entertainment, Lionsgate Entertainment, Seagate, Creative Labs, and Kraft Foods. Most recently, Dave's business expansion has included additional mobile and server-side platforms as well as support services. As a result, the custom software development division of Paracoders now operates as torchlight apps (http://www.torchlightapps.com).

Dave was also a technical reviewer for Creating Games with cocos2d for iPhone 2 by Packt Publishing, and stays busy with his wife raising 3 children, 3 dogs, 2 parakeets, and about 25 ducks, at the last count.
