@shriramk As you remember your professor, let me use this moment to thank you for How to Design Programs. I found it through a MOOC in the last decade. I was out of college and already working as a software developer.
It changed the way I write programs. My tests became better. It sparked my ongoing interest in writing good developer documentation.
I am that elusive student that never went to your university or even took an online class with you. We never met in person. I have only learned from your book and some recordings from your lectures. Yet your teachings have has a profound impact in my professional life and in those of my colleagues.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with so many people like me. Even if it is rare when we get a chance to express it to you,there are many of us who deeply appreciate your work and generosity
