    Bio

    I’m Bruce E. Wampler, and I’ve been working in the PC industry since its earliest days (that’s the late 1970′s). I was born and raised in Casper, Wyoming. I graduated from the University of Michigan in 1975 with a BSE in Computer Engineering. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Utah in 1979.

    I was a pioneer in the PC software industry. I developed the first spelling checker for a PC (it first ran on a Radio Shack TRS-80, followed by other PCs). I also developed the first true grammar checker, Grammatik. I’ve taught computer science at the University of New Mexico, written a Java programming book, developed an Open Source GUI library, served on the local school board, and served on a regional water conservancy district board of directors, among other things.

    My current projects include the popular Weaver Xtreme WordPress theme.

    Thanks for that review. bbPress itself has changed very little over the past 10 years…
