About the Author
Christian Brousseau is a proud Canadian who has been developing software for
over twenty years. He made his debut in Windows development and then moved on
to Java when the Web came along. About thirteen years ago, he had the opportunity
to move to France where he worked on major Java Enterprise projects for one of
the largest software companies in the world, in different sectors such as banking,
insurance, retail, government, and defense.
Over the last few years, he became very enthusiastic about mobile platforms
in general and has developed quite a few applications for iOS and Android
devices using the Appcelerator Titanium platform. He is very active within the
community; being a Titanium-certied application developer and a member of the
Titans Evangelist group, he is one of the top 10 contributors on the Appcelerator's
Questions & Answers forum.
Still living in Paris, he left the enterprise world and created his own company,
Things Are Moving (
http://www.thingsaremoving.com), that specializes in
mobile development.
I would like to thank all my friends and colleagues who have given
me their support, and all those who were there when I created my
very rst mobile application (that did not do much at the time I must
admit). I'd also like to thank all of the very knowledgeable people
who took the time to review my book and gave me more than just
review notes. You guys went the extra mile, and I am very grateful
for it.
But most of all, I'd like to thank my wife, who gave me her full
support in this journey (even during bad times, that support never
inched). Also, to my children who had to see their father writing
every weekend instead of spending quality time with them.
To everyone, thank you!
