About the Author
Taras Kalapun has more than 10 years experience as a Software Developer and
Consultant in Mobile and Web. His background spans numerous technologies,
programming languages, and databases. He was involved in developing more
than 100 iOS projects and web services, as well as project management activities.
In addition, he managed teams of software developers who all wanted to kill
him. Through his mentoring, tech leading, troubleshooting, and code reviewing,
he discovered that teaching by example resulted in more effective software
development. A method he supplemented with, "Stop trying to reinvent the
wheel"—a favorite phrase he used to tell young software developers.
He has worked at a number of IT companies across Europe including Ukrtelecom,
a national Ukrainian telecommunication company; Ciklum, a Dutch outstufng
company headquartered in Ukraine; and Xaton, an Amsterdam software
development company, in addition to freelance projects.
Occasionally he publishes small how-to articles on solving development problems
and impedances on his blog,
http://kalapun.com, some of which progressed
to the development of this book.
I would like to thank Mattt Thompson for creating the
AFNetworking library and Blake Watters for writing the RestKit
framework. Also, I would like to thank my friends and co-workers
who helped me by reviewing the book.
