About the Author
Clément Nedelcu was born and raised in France, and studied in U.K., French,
and Chinese universities. He is now a computer science teacher at Jiangsu University
of Science and Technology in Zhenjiang, a southwestern city of China. He also
works as technology consultant in France, specialized in web and Microsoft .NET
development as well as Linux server administration. Since 2005, he has been
administering a major network of websites in his spare time. This eventually led him
to discover Nginx: it made such a difference that he started his own blog about it.
One thing leading to another…
The author's blog can be visited at
http://cnedelcu.net and contains articles about
Nginx and other web development topics.
I would like to express my gratitude to my girlfriend, my family
and my friends who have been very supportive all along the writing
stage. This book is dedicated to Martin Fjordvald for originally
directing me to Nginx when my servers were about to kick the
bucket. Special thanks to Maxim Dounin, Jérémie Bertrand, Shaun
James, Zhang Yichun, Brendan, and all the folks on the #Nginx IRC
channel on Freenode.
