About the Author

Vincent van der Leun is a software engineer living in the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands. Programming since the age of 8, he has worked with many different languages and platforms over the years. Rediscovering Java a few years ago, he loved it so much that he became an Oracle Certified Professional, Java 7 Programmer, and started the JVM Fanboy blog. Currently he works for CloudSuite, a company specializing in modern e-commerce solutions. At CloudSuite he works on various backend systems and web services, writes JavaScript code for frontend applications, supports consultants by providing complex SQL queries, and consumes coffee while having design-related discussions with fellow developers. When not trying out new web frameworks or technologies in his spare time, he is collecting cult movies and obscure action flicks on DVD/Bluray, reading classic science fiction novels, or attending concerts of non-mainstream singers and songwriters.
