🤩
RockstarChuck Toporek is a senior editor with decades of experience shaping technical books and developer documentation, currently on Apple’s Developer Publications team. He led acquisition and editorial efforts that helped define the Mac and iOS developer book market during the rise of the iPhone and iPad, and has a track record of turning concepts into bestselling, first-to-market titles and series.
