A Professor of Computer Science Emeritus at UMN Gary Meyer reached out to me about a former student of his while he was at U of Oregon. Gary brought to my attention a relatively recent book by this former student Chet Hasse. After his CS degrees, Hasse went on to work as a member of the team that developed the Android operating system, and had a long career at Google. Chet did many research interviews with colleagues and collected documents and wrote the book
Androids: The Team that Built the Android Operating System (
https://www.amazon.com/Androids-Built-Android-Operating-System/dp/1718502680). It is an interesting examination of a development project from a participating engineer, which makes it somewhat unusual, and Chet has published several other books too--including humor. Thought it might be of interest to some of you and also I promised Gary I would share it with colleagues in the history and social study of computing. Chet wrote too and he let me know that he is donating all royalties evenly split between two nonprofit organizations advancing diversity in programming, Girls Who Code and Black Girls Code.
