As a computer science professor at Hendrix College, I teach a broad range of undergraduate computer science courses. Aside from teaching, my primary professional activity is with developing open-source software for computer science education. Logisim, for designing and simulating digital circuits, is easily the biggest of these projects. Jigsaw is an interesting introductory Java IDE that we are currently developing and using at Hendrix.
