About the Reviewers

Simone Bianchi lives in Italy, where after a degree in electronic engineering, he started to work as a programmer developing web applications using technologies such as Java, JSP, JQuery, and Oracle. When time permits, he likes to explore other topics, contribute to the open source community developing free components for the Talend Platform (for example, the tDBFInput and tDBFOutput components), develop Android apps (SleepyTimer), or return to the subjects of his studies, delighting himself building small IoT projects using microcontrollers like the ones of the Arduino family.

I'd like to thank Pack Publishing for again giving me the opportunity to review their book after Talend for Big Data, and I hope you can find this book as inspiring as it has been for me reviewing it.
