Ken O. Burtch has been a computer industry leader for over 15 years. During the early 1990's he founded PegaSoft Canada and wrote software for the Apple IIgs computer, including the DrawTools animation kit and the award-winning game Quest for the Hoard. He began using Linux before it was cool and is the author of the popular and acclaimed book Linux Shell Scripting with Bash. As a writer, he has published both fiction and non-fiction works. As a programmer, he likes developing software that combines unlikely disciplines to create new inventive solutions.
