About the Authors

Cory Gackenheimer is a software engineer from Indiana. He studied Physics at Purdue University where he worked with image analysis software for nanoscale environments. His software experience has led him to utilize many different technologies including C#, C++, Visual Basic, SQL Server, Cassandra, and, of course, JavaScript. When he first encountered Node.js, he realized that the possibility of utilizing the ubiquitous language of the web on the server was both efficient and revolutionary. Since then, he has spent a considerable amount of time learning and building applications with Node.js. Aside from hacking on code, he enjoys spending time with his family, running, and cycling.
