Bodil Stokke, Steria

Bodil spends her days working as a Java developer at Steria, while silently plotting to overthrow the ancien régime, replacing current programming fashions with the Next Big Thing. She hopes the Next Big Thing will have lots of parentheses, but will settle for anything without checked exceptions.

She is on intimate terms with JavaScript and the web platform, having been the senior JavaScript developer on one of Scandinavia's biggest web based mapping application—kartor.eniro.se and friends—and has since taken an active interest in CoffeeScript and Node.JS as worthy challengers to the Ruby on Rails hegemony.
