About the Author

Mark McDonnell is a London-based software engineer currently working for BBC News as a senior developer. Over the past 15 years, Mark has worked his way up the ranks of the agency lifestyle. Along the way, he has built software applications in Classic ASP, ASP.NET, Flash, PHP, Node, and Ruby. He has also had the pleasure of managing and mentoring teams of highly talented developers before moving on to the BBC as a responsive front-end specialist, evolving from the client side back to the server side to work on cloud-based distributed and concurrent systems. He is a lover of the Unix philosophy and the power of the command line and always relishes the opportunity to learn new technologies. Youll normally find him chattering about functional programming with Clojure or how best to solve a technical problem, using design patterns and S.O.L.I.D principles.
