About the Author

I’ve published more than 14 books and 17 online courses (https://node.university), most of them on the cloud, React, JavaScript, and Node.js. (One book is about how to write books, and another is about what to do after you’ve written a few books.) Before focusing on Node, I programmed in other languages (Java, C, Perl, PHP, Ruby), pretty much ever since high school (more than a dozen years ago) and definitely more than the 10,000 hours prescribed.^[1]

Right now, I’m a Technology Fellow at one of the top 10 U.S. banks, which is also a Fortune 500 company: Capital One Financial Corporation, in beautiful San Francisco. Before that, I worked for small startups, giant corporations, and even the U.S. federal government, writing desktop, web, and mobile apps; teaching; and doing developer evangelism and project management.

I don’t want to take too much of your time telling you about myself; you can read more on my blog (http://webapplog.com/about) and social media (www.linkedin.com/in/azatm). Instead, I want to write about my experience that’s relevant to this book.
