Some Stuff About Visual Basic

PETER J.MORRIS

You first met Peet on page 2. Here is the rest of his story. Recently Peet was the technical lead on MicroHelp’s Code Complete suite of Visual Basic 4 programmer’s tools (which was written by TMS), and he cowrote TMS’s other Visual Basic toolkit, TMS Tools. Peet was a member of the ANSI X3J11 and X3J16 standards groups (C and C++) and is a founding member of the IEEE P1201.1/2 (API and UI) standards groups. He’s also a member of the IEEE computer society and the ACM. In the rare moments he’s not working, his time is almost exclusively the property of his baby son, Daniel.
