Michael Scratch

Michael and Eric Scratch are two computer-savvy brothers, born in Los Angeles in the 1980s.

It was 1998 when the Scratch brothers, at the age of 12 and 14, built their first homemade primordial computer with their father's help (an electronic engineer).

Their passion for computing grew out of all proportion when Michael met Josh Gordon, a high school science teacher who understood his talent and "initiates" him into the world of programming.

The passion for computers led both brothers to graduate in Computer Science at the University of California, with excellent scores.

Michael and Eric currently live in Los Angeles with their families. They travel around the country giving computer science seminars and in recent years have decided to pass on their knowledge through independent book publishing.

Their mission is to provide the best possible tools to all people approaching programming languages for the first time, to make it a profitable and fun experience.

In Michael and Eric's pages, you'll find tons of practical tips and tricks gained from over 20 years of experience in computer science.
