Books
I have been writing since my early youth — first self-published poetry in Danish, later published poetry and educational books in Swedish. In recent years, I have also written technical papers in English. Furthermore, I have experience of copywriting and proofreading.
Writing is highly demanding work. Are you in need of real text? Send a message to information@simonjensen.com.
Textbooks
I have taught programming for many years. So far, this has resulted in a book about C++ and a small e-booklet about Python.

C++ på riktigt (2019)From the publisher's website (translated): With entertaining allegories, detailed explanations, and precise code examples, as well as a few illustrations, it is shown how some of the most abstract concepts are connected. The book requires no prior knowledge other than an open mind and a little patience.
From a review in BTJ-häftet (translated): The explanations are uncomplicated and comprehensive … C++ på riktigt is useful as course literature at high school and college level, but of course also for self-study. The book ends with a number of appendices, advice on further development opportunities and a detailed index.
BTJ's overall rating: 4 (out of 5).

Poetry
Quite some time ago, I wrote two collections of poems (in Swedish). They got well received with some nice reviews.
I still have some copies of Fingret (it means The Finger), contact me if you are interested. As for Skärmen (it means The Screen), it should be possible to order online, or possibly directly from the publisher.
Fingret (2011)From the publisher's website (translated): Fingret is the sequel to Skärmen from 2009. In this new punk-poetry collection, Simon Jensen continues to breathe fire and brimstone over our time's takedown of vital concepts such as togetherness, solidarity and love. We humans are described as the animals we are. Fingret is political and raw. It's a fun book. But at the same time, it's violent, provocative and perverse. Strictly forbidden for children.

Skärmen (2009)From the publisher's website (translated): Skärmen is the musician Simon Jensen's critically acclaimed literary debut. Shocking, raw, sad, funny. It is a collection of animalistic poems — critical of civilization — where the overarching theme is death and destruction. But hope and love is just around the corner.
