About the Author

Giordano Scalzo is a developer with 20 years of programming experience, since the days of the ZXSpectrum.

He has worked in C++, Java, .Net, Ruby, Python, and in so many other programming languages he has forgotten the names.

After years of backend development, over the past 5 years Giordano has developed extensively for iOS, releasing more than 20 apps—apps that he wrote for clients, enterprise applications, or on his own.

Currently, he is a contractor in London, where—through his company, Effective Code Ltd, http://effectivecode.co.uk—he delivers code for iOS, aiming at quality and reliability.

In his spare time, when he is not crafting retro game clones for iOS, he writes his thoughts at http://giordanoscalzo.com.
