Luciano Mammino

Luciano Mammino is a software engineer born in 1987, the same year that the Nintendo released Super Mario Bros in Europe, which by chance is his favorite video-game. He started coding at the age of 12 using his father's old Intel 386, provided only with the DOS operating system and the qBasic interpreter. After a master's degree in computer science he developed his programming skills mostly as a web developer working mainly as freelancer for companies and startups all around Italy. After a start-up parenthesis of 3 years as CTO and co-founder of Sbaam.com in Italy and in Ireland, he decided to relocate in Dublin to work as senior PHP engineer at Smartbox. He loves developing open source libraries and working with frameworks such as Symfony and Express. He is convinced that the JavaScript fame is still at the very beginning and that this technology will have a huge impact in the future of most of the web-and mobile-related technologies. For this reason, he spends most of his free time improving his knowledge of JavaScript and playing with Node.js.

We learned how to use webpack, and then we introduced React and discussed some of its functionality. We learned how to build component-oriented user interfaces and then started to build an application from scratch to explore universal rendering, universal routing, and universal data retrieval.

Even though we discussed a lot of topics, we barely scratched the surface of this wide topic, but you should have gained all the necessary knowledge to keep exploring this world on your own if you are interested in knowing more...
