About the Author
Valentin Bojinov
studied computer programming at Technological School of
Electronic Systems, a college within the Technical University of Soa, Bulgaria. There,
he got acquainted with programming and realized that his career would be in research
and development. After college, he graduated from the Technical University of Soa
with a BSc in telecommunication and information engineering. It was then that his
interest in data transmission grew and he ventured into B2B (business-to-business)
communication. He is currently working on his MSc degree in software development.
He is an expert in Java, SOAP, RESTful web services, and B2B integration.
A few years after Valentin started his career as a .NET developer, he realized that
B2B and SOA were his passion. He then moved to SAP, where he contributed to the
development of the web services stack of the SAP JEE platform. He currently works
as a senior Java developer for the Bulgarian branch of Seeburger AG, a leader in
the B2B and MFT solutions market. There, he develops and maintains several B2B
communication adapters, including web services and SAP adapters.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my soul mate, Galya,
for putting up with me and my decision to work on this title. Also,
many thanks to my lovely parents: my dad, Emil, for making me
develop an enthusiasm for computers 20 years ago and mummy,
Anka, for always being there for me!
Special thanks to all my mentors from TUES for showing me how to
learn efciently and to never give up. The credit here goes mainly
to Lubomir Chorbadjiev. I also have to mention my extraordinary
colleagues I had the chance to study there with. Guys, thanks for
always being such good friends and experts! I know I haven't
recently shown up for our regular monthly gathering, so next time,
the beer is on me!
