Scott Penberthy began coding shortly after the Apple II was launched in the 1970s. His addiction to writing software fully bloomed with a scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he wrote a multiplayer online game that brought his school s antique computer to its knees. After graduating, Scott took a job at IBM Research, the birthplace of IBM s web products and services. After running up the corporate ladder in the 1990s building massive web sites, he jettisoned in 2005 to return to his true love of coding. Now a successful entrepreneur, Scott runs an app studio in New York City.
