About the Author

Jeremy Walker is a writer and programmer who was born, raised, and presently resides in Silicon Valley. Jeremy currently works as a Staff Software Engineer at Syapse, where he develops the company's precision medicine platform and helps doctors treat serious medical conditions using genetic sequencing. Prior to Syapse, Jeremy worked in the multifamily tenant industry, where he drafted multiple XML standards while serving as Technical Vice Chair of the industry's standards committee.

In his free time, Jeremy enjoys reading, playing old computer games, and answering questions on Stack Overflow. If the weather is nice, he can often be found hiking or just lying on the beach in neighboring Santa Cruz. Jeremy is also the author of two programming libraries: Underscore Grease and BackSupport, and he is an active proponent of all things Backbone-related.

Acknowledgments

First, I would like to thank my employer Syapse. For the past three years, Syapse has given me the opportunity to learn and improve my proficiency with Backbone while doing meaningful work to improve the treatment of serious illnesses. I could not have asked for a better place to learn and refine the ideas that made up Backbone.js Essentials.

Second, I would like to thank the wonderful editorial staff at Packt Publishing. Without their support, this book could never have been made, and I am exceedingly grateful to Packt for taking a chance on an unproven author like myself.

I would also like to thank everyone who helped provide feedback on this book, but especially one reviewer in particular. Sep Dadsetan not only reviewed every chapter of this book, but he did so within hours of it being written, and his feedback was always invaluable. I could not ask for a better or more dedicated editorial assistant and friend.

I would also like to thank my family, particularly my deceased Uncle Larry. Many of my first experiences ever using a computer came while sitting in Uncle Larry's living room, and as I grew up his talks and gifts of literature helped shape me both as a writer and as a human being. He will always be missed.

Finally, I would like to thank the most important person in my life, my wife Stacy, for doing everything possible to help me write this book. I am incredibly lucky and grateful to have such a beautiful, supportive, and loving partner, who never once complained about the many hours I spent ignoring her while writing this book (even when it was during our trip to Hawaii).

I would like to thank my girlfriend Dawn for putting up with the long evenings

Hadrien Tulipe is a French software engineer. He discovered programming in high school while creating his first HTML website. After graduating, he studied computer science for 5 years in France and Canada.

With his diploma, he got a job at Worldline, an Atos company, where he specialized in Geographical Information System engineering. As a GIS engineer, he had to conceive complex software architecture and develop robust software. He has also worked for the French National Geographic Institute (IGN) and French National Hydrographic Institute (SHOM).

He has developed front-end web applications using Javascript libraries and frameworks such as OpenLayers and Backbone. He has also developed a lot of back-end web services with Spring and Hibernate.

At work, he advocates software quality and clean code practices. After 4 years as a GIS engineer at Worldline, he moved to the position of Quality and Tests Support Engineer in the same company. He provides support to his colleagues with respect to software testing and good programming practices.

He is also a great partisan of the open source philosophy and likes to contribute to such projects.
