About the Reviewers

Andrei Alexandrescu coined the colloquial term "modern C++", which is used today to describe a collection of important C++ styles and idioms. His book on the topic, Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied (Addison-Wesley, 2001), revolutionized C++ programming and produced a lasting influence not only on subsequent work on C++, but also on other languages and systems. With Herb Sutter, he is also the co-author of C++ Coding Standards: 101 Rules, Guidelines, and Best Practices (Addison-Wesley Professional, 2010). He has garnered a solid reputation in both industrial and academic circles through his varied work on libraries and applications, as well as research in machine learning and natural language processing. From 2006, he worked on the D programming language together with Walter Bright, the inventor and initial implementer of the language. He co-designed many important features of D, authored a large part of D's standard library, and wrote the book The D Programming Language (Addison-Wesley Professional, 2010). Andrei holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Washington and a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from University Politehnica of Bucharest. He works as a research scientist for Facebook.
