Darko Goles - Magento Mobile How-To

Darko Gole is a Magento Certified Developer who works and lives in Croatia. He has spent over nine years learning and developing both desktop and web applications in different programming environments such as VB6, C++, VB. NET, C#, and later in PHPJoomla, Wordpress, and so on.

After working on different projects and learning different platforms, he found that his real passion in the developer's world is web development and PHP.

For the last year and a half, he has been working as a Senior PHP Web Developer for Inchoo Ltd (www.inchoo.net).

In the beginning of his career with Inchoo, he worked as a web support Mobile team member, specializing in Web Services API development.

During that time, he developed DivineofficeHub (a content management and web service-based data delivery platform) for Surgeworks Ltd, which is used as a data provider for several Surgeworks mobile applications built by Inchoo.

After over 10 months of additional experience with web services using the Symfony2 framework, he started with Magento and then worked on extending Magento Core API features for its usage with the Mageboard iOS application.

Currently, Darko is working as a Magento backend developer on different projects, solving Magento challenges every day.

Like most developers and book authors, I have to say that it is impossible to accomplish any success or knowledge without investing a lot of time.

Because of that, I want to use this opportunity to say a big thank you to my family (my wife Tihana, and my kids Renato and Lana) for selfless support, understanding and caring in all of these hours that I spent not just writing this book, but all the precious family time stolen from them to build myself as a professional developer.

Anutosh Ghosh loves coding, but has worked extensively only in the world of PHP, for almost five years now. He has a good knowledge of Magento, and has worked on the integration of Magento Web Services with SAP Business One for more than two years.

He is trying hard to figure out the jargon of Java, amongst other things.

When bored, he gets some serious recreation by watching cool movies and singing regional stuff. However, he loves to poke his nose in some forums and Stack Overflow, from time to time.

Whatever I am today is only because of my family, especially my mother, whose perseverance and experience has always been my base.
