Paulo Ragonha is a software engineer. He loves web development for the opportunities that it carries; "to be able to craft a piece of software that can be instantly accessible by anyone" (with internet connection, of course).
In his early days of software development, he was mostly involved in game development and Java. But since his discovery of Ruby and JavaScript, he has worked uniquely on web applications.
His last three projects were big JavaScript applications, developed entirely driven by tests and with amazing tooling support.
He has an amazing wife that he loves very much, lives in the beautiful Florianpolis, a coast city in the south of Brazil. He is a casual speaker, a biker, a runner, and a hobbyist photographer (he has earned an actual award taking pictures).
I would like to thank Juliana, my wife, for supporting me during the writing of this book. It was not easy for her to have her husband almost unavailable for over two months. I would also like to thank my family for cheering me when I needed the most, and my friends, who were there for me, helping me boot up this book. I would specially like to thank Felipe Munhoz who was always available to hear me whinging about my texts, and Fabiano Soriani who replied to every single e-mail I've sent to him about the queries regarding the book. Thank you all!
Diego Castorina is a Software Engineer with more than 7 years of experience building Web Applications and SOA Systems.
After graduating in Computer Science at the University of Catania, Sicily, he moved to work in the Netherlands first and in the Czech Republic afterwards.
He has extensive knowledge and experience with Java, Ruby, Scala, and JavaScript, of course.
During the past couple of years he has focused his attention on JavaScript because of the fundamental role of the language in the future of the Web.

Prateek enjoys traveling and working from new cities and countries. He is currently in Vietnam exploring Vietnamese food and culture. He is happy to be your tour guide if you are visiting Vietnam. Tweet to him @prateekdayal.
Zeno Rocha used to work as a software developer at Petrobras, (the largest company in Latin America) and Globoesporte.com (the most accessed sports website in Brazil), now he's a front-end engineer at Liferay focused on the AlloyUI project. Besides, he's a writer at Smashing Magazine , host at Zone Of Front-Enders podcast, and co-founder of BrazilJS Foundation. At only 22 years of age, he's one of the top 20 most active users on GitHub and a reference in Brazil, when the subject is frontend development.
Sergey Simonchik is a software developer living and working in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. He is lucky because he has a wonderful wife and a kind cat. Sergey develops WebStorm IDE at JetBrains. He is working on improving JavaScript unit testing support and other IDE features.
