Joseph B. Ottinger is a distributed systems architect with experience in many cloud platforms. He was the editor-in-chief of both Java Developer Journal and The Server Side.com, and has also contributed to many, many publications, open source projects, and commercial projects over the years, using many different languages (but primarily Java, Python, and Java Script). He’s also a previously published author online (with too many publications to note individually) and in print, through Apress.   Andrew Lombardi is a veteran entrepreneur and software developer.  His parents taught him to code while barely able to read on an Apple ][ he still wishes he had.  He invented the Internet (suck it Al Gore) while drinking straight coffee and staring off into space.  He’s been running the consulting firm Mystic Coders for 24 years, authored a kick-ass book on Spring for Apress and Web Socket for O”Reilly, coding, speaking internationally andoffering technical guidance to companies as large as Walmart and companies with problems as interesting as helicopter simulation and social media.  He firmly believes that the best thing he’s done so far is being a great dad.
