Author Information

Andrea Koutifaris has a passion for programming, which he likes to say is in his DNA. At the age of thirteen, he began using his father's laptop to write his own programs. After graduating high school, he enrolled, without a second thought, at the University of Florence, Faculty of Computer Engineering. After being a Java developer for some years, Andrea gradually moved to frontend development, which is still his passion today. Having spent too much time fixing problems with messed up code, he is obsessed with good programming and test-driven development which, in his opinion, is the only way to write production-quality code.
