I think I'm coming from the opposite end from most of the group. I have an MLS and got into cataloging.  I was always looking for better ways to tidy up the catalog.  I somehow got on Code4Lib or and joined up with another Code4Libber for a project.  I was hooked; I even managed to get a one day live course on Perl and a couple of E-learning courses.  This unusual sequence has all lead to a profound understanding of cataloging and indexing coupled with seat-of-the-pants programming/technical skills.  

Suspect as my programming is, it beats trying to write perfect specs for real programmers and then trying to explain to them half-way through that I've figured out a dozen ways to tweak the original plan now that I've seen it in action.  And besides coding is so much fun!

I couldn't have managed without the help of other code4libbers who have been gracious over the years in answering questions even when a few of them should have been really obvious. So I'll take this opportunity to thank those you who have been so generous with your knowledge and help.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] coders who library? [was: Let me shadow you, librarians who code!]

This recent spate of message leads me to wonder: How many folks here who 
"code for libraries" have a library science degree/background, vs. folks 
who come from other backgrounds?  What about folks who end up in 
technology management/direction positions for libraries?

Personally: Computer scientist and systems engineer, did some early 
Internet-in-public library deployments, got to write a book about it.  
Not actively doing library related work at the moment.
