About the Author

Kirupa Chinnathambi has spent most of his life trying to teach others to love web development as much as he does.

In 1999, before blogging was even a word, he started posting tutorials on kirupa.com. In the years since then, he has written hundreds of articles, written a few books (none as good as this one, of course!), and recorded a bunch of videos you can find on YouTube. When he isn’t writing or talking about web development, he spends his waking hours helping make the Web more awesome as a Product Manager for the Lightning Design System at Salesforce. In his non-waking hours, he is probably sleeping, joining Meena in running after their toddler daughter Akira, protecting himself from Pixel (aka a T-rex in an unassuming cat’s body)...or writing about himself in the third person.

You can find him on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and the interwebs at large. Just search for his name in your favorite search engine.
