Giordano Scalzo is a developer with 20 years of programming experience, since the days of the ZXSpectrum. He has worked in C++, Java, .Net, Ruby, Python, and in so many other programming languages he has forgotten the names. After years of backend development, over the past 5 years Giordano has developed extensively for iOS, releasing more than 20 apps-apps that he wrote for clients, enterprise applications, or on his own. Currently, he is a contractor in London, where-through his company, Effective Code Ltd, http://effectivecode.co.uk-he delivers code for iOS, aiming at quality and reliability. In his spare time, when he is not crafting retro game clones for iOS, he writes his thoughts at http://giordanoscalzo.com. Jon Hoffman has over 20 years of experience in the field of Information Technology. Over those 20 years, Jon has worked in the areas of System Administration, Network Administration, Network Security, Application Development, and Architecture. Currently Jon works as a Senior Software Engineer for Syn-Tech Systems. Jon has developed extensively for the iOS platform since 2008. This includes several apps that he has published in the app store, apps that he has wrote for third-parties, and numerous enterprise applications. Packt Publishing published Jon's first book, iOS and OS X Network Programming, in January 2014. What really drives Jon is the challenges in the Information Technology field and there is nothing more exhilarating to him than overcoming a challenge. Some of Jon's other interests are watching Baseball (Go Sox) and Basketball (Go Celtics). Jon also really enjoys Tae Kwon Do where he and his oldest daughter Kailey earned their Black Belts together early in 2014, Kim (his wife) earned her Black Belt in December 2014, and his youngest daughter is currently working towards her Black Belt. I would like to thank my wonderful wife Kim, without whose support, encouragement, patience, and understanding this book would have never been written. I would also like to thank my two wonderful daughters Kailey and Kara who have both been my inspiration and driving force since the days they were born.
