Andrea Passaglia was born in Genoa, in northern Italy. Interested about technology since his parents gave him a toy computer when he was a boy, he started studying web technologies at an early age. After obtaining his master's degree in computer engineering he worked on the design and implementation of web interfaces for companies of various sizes and in different industries (healthcare, fashion, tourism, and transport).
In 2016 he moves in the silicon valley of Europe to tackle new problems in the banking industry at the Edgeverve Dublin Research and Development Labs.
A backend technologist by trade, Vue.js is his first tool to bring to life his creations when it comes to the frontend.
Andrea is married to a lovely Russian girl from Siberia and they often cook together mixing culinary traditions.
I would like to thank Packt for giving me the opportunity to write this book--Narendra Tripathi, Smeet Thakkar, Siddharth Mandal, and the whole team for being so professional and supporting. A big thank you to Bogdan Bâlc for his attention to detail, and all the people that helped me with reviewing the book; I'm talking to Alesya Kholodova, Eamon McNamee, and Yomi Eluande. Thank you guys for your practical suggestions and useful additions to the book.
Support from my colleagues at the lab was invaluable, to you guys goes my gratitude for always asking "How's the book going?" It really meant a lot to me.
Thanks to my wife for constantly pushing me to write every day and everywhere; thanks to my family for your love and support.
