Joachim Ziebs teaches Computer Science, English, and History at a German abendrealschule (a night school). When he was fifteen, he was given an old camera. He was hooked on photography immediately and was seldom seen without his camera. Later he bought his first computer, a Commodore C64, and another passion ensued.

Strangely, however, the author decided to study English, History, and Philosophy after he finished school. After graduating with an MA, he found work as a Computer and Network Administrator and Software Trainer with a small start-up software company, where his passion for teaching awakened.

Following this calling, he quit his job to become a teacher.

This is his first book.
