| About the author | ||
| Who are you? | ||
| My name is Arthur VIGAN. I am a 23 year-old French male currently living in Marseille. | ||
| What is your job? Are you a software engineer? | ||
|
No, software development is just a hobby for me. I studied optical engineering
during 3 years at the Ecole
Supérieure d'Optique in Orsay (France), and I am currently doing my PhD at the Laboratoire
d'Astrophysique de Marseille on the instrument SPHERE for the VLT in Chile. The goal of this instrument is the detection and observation of exoplanets. |

| Where did you learn programming? | ||
|
I started to learn C in high school from a book, and thanks
to the help of Louis Balourdet I learned graphical programming under
Mac OS 8. When Mac OS X was released by Apple
in 2001, I switched to the new system an learned Objective-C and
the Cocoa framework with the developer
documentation and the development
tools provided by Apple. |
