About the Author
Nathan Rozentals has been building commercial software for over 26 years and
programming for a lot longer than that. Before the Internet even became a thing, he was
building statistical analysis programs on mainframes. Like many programmers at that time,
he helped save the world in the year 2000.
He has worked with and tried to master many object-oriented languages, starting by
implementing object-oriented techniques in plain old C. Having spent many years working
with C++, chasing obscure thread locking issues and recursive routines causing memory
leakage, he decided to simplify his life by embracing automatic garbage collection in Java
and then C#.
As the world moved from thick-client and n-tier to web technologies, his focus turned to
modern web programming, and so to JavaScript. In TypeScript, he found a language in
which he could bring all of the object-oriented design patterns he had learned over the
years to JavaScript.
If it were not for extreme programming techniques, agile delivery, test-driven development,
and continuous integration, he would have lost his mind many years ago.
When he is not programming, he is thinking about programming. To stop thinking about
programming, he goes windsurfing, plays soccer, or simply watches the professionals play
soccer. They are so much better at it than he is.
I would like to thank my partner, Kathy, for her support and unconditional love over the
past few years. Without you, I would not be in the great space that I am.
To Ayron and Dayna, it has been great seeing you guys grow up into mature young
adults. You are always in my thoughts.
To Matt, thanks for keeping us all laughing - everyone needs to see the lighter side of life.
To Mum, Dad, Rach, Tash, and Tam, thanks for your unwavering and whole-hearted
support – I truly appreciate all you have done for me.
Finally, to the great team at Vix, thanks for the many intense debates and discussions, and
for making work such a rewarding experience.
