We had our baby last Friday (18th) so am now a very proud father. Her name is Amelia and she is an expert in Java, the reason? my wife is a technical trainer and she has been listening to her teaching for the last 8 months so I expect her to be at a keyboard any day now and writing the next generation of Java frameworks

Hey, I have birthday on 18th January too, good luck to you and your family
I am looking forward to a article, what a new experience is to be a dad :).
I have been thinking for a while, if paternity can make you a better programmer, developer, or if it will bind you up…
