About the Author

Silvio Moreto is a developer with more than 7 years of experience with frontend technologies and has created many websites and web applications using the Bootstrap framework. From simple pages to complex ones, he has always used the Bootstrap framework.

Silvio is also the creator of the bootstrap-select plugin (http://silviomoreto.github.io/bootstrap-select/), which is a very popular plugin among the community. It is for replacing a selected element by a Bootstrap button drop-down element. Silvio foresaw that a plugin like this one was missing in the original framework, and it could be useful for the community. So he created the plugin, and the community helps him maintain it.

Besides this, he is very active in the open source community, participating in some open source repository and issue communities, such as Stack Overflow. Also, he finished third in the worldwide Django Dash 2013 challenge.

First, I would like to thank my wife to supporting me throughout the writing process of the book. I would also like to thank my dog for staying beside me every night when I was writing and being the inspiration to some scenarios in the book. Then I want to thank the editors from Packt Publishing for their understanding and for guiding me through the completion of the book.
