Todd Greanier
Todd Greanier is an author and software architect, widely regarded as an expert in Java programming. [1] [2] He has
written several books on the subject, including Java Foundations, which is used as a textbook in many college-level
computer science programs. It has been translated into over forty languages and is the standard text for Java
programmers in India, Russia, Germany, and South Africa.
Once a popular instructor for Sun Microsystems, Greanier now works to develop and deliver online training
programs. He was a frequent contributor to the now defunct New York Sun newspaper, [3] and was co-author (with
sportswriter Sean Lahman) of three books on professional football. [4]
Todd is currently working on a book on boxing history and is one of the founders (with Sean Lahman) of Bluebeard
Publishing. [5]
