About the Author
Jos Dirksen
has worked as a software developer and architect for more than a
decade. He has a lot of experience in a wide range of technologies, ranging from
backend technologies, such as Java and Scala, to frontend development using
HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. Besides working with these technologies, Jos also
regularly speaks at conferences and likes to write about new and interesting
technologies on his blog. He also likes to experiment with new technologies and see
how they can be best used to create beautiful data visualizations, the results of which
you can see on his blog at
http://www.smartjava.org/
.
Jos is currently working as a consultant for a large Dutch nancial institution and
has just nished a function as an enterprise architect for Malmberg, a large Dutch
publisher of educational material. There, he helped to create a new digital platform
for the creation and publishing of educational content for primary, secondary, and
vocational education. Previously, Jos worked in many different roles in the private
and public sectors, ranging from private companies, such as Philips and ASML, to
organizations in the public sector, such as the Department of Defense.
Jos has also written two other books on Three.js—Three.js Essentials, which uses
an example-based approach to explore the most important feature of Three.js, and
Three.js Cookbook, which provides a recipe-based approach to cover important use
cases of Three.js.
Besides his interest in frontend JavaScript and HTML5 technologies, he is also
interested in backend service development using REST and traditional web services.
