Über Autor(innen)

Javier A Rubio Enrique :

Enrique Amodeo is an experienced software engineer currently working and living in Berlin. He is a very eclectic professional with very different interests and more than 15 years of experience. Some of his areas of expertise are JS, BDD/TDD, REST, NoSQL, object-oriented programming, and functional programming. As an agile practitioner, he uses BDD and emergent design in his everyday work and tries to travel light. Experienced in both frontend and server-side development, he has worked with several technical stacks, including Java/JEE, but since 2005, he prefers to focus on JS and HTML5. He is now very happy to be able to apply his JS knowledge to the server-side development, thanks to projects such as Node.js. He also has written a book in Spanish on designing web APIs, following the REST and hypermedia approach (https://leanpub.com/introduccion_apis_rest).
