Ole Falkerslev Kristensen was a software developer at Nokia Mobile phone for more than 10 years, working with C, C++ and C#. He is now a professional Xamarin.Android developer in a startup company with 4-5 employees for the last 3 years.
He has also developed Android Apps for A.M.O Professional Loyalty programs and events apps. Also, he has also developed in Xamarin iOS.
Frédéric Mauroy discovered computers in the mid-80s and got his joy of programming with Basic. This new-found passion naturally led him to pursue an education in IT, where he learned C and C++. His first job allowed him to hone his skills in C, and he later sled towards C# with the amazing .Net framework. Having mainly worked in ASP.Net, he also developed Windows applications, and more recently, mobile applications for Android and iOS using PhoneGap and Xamarin.
He has made mobile applications for Viashopia and Alert112. You can get more details at the following links:
Luca Zulian lives in Milan, Italy, and he is a skilled Microsoft .NET Framework developer, specializing in patterns and practices. In his many years as developer, he worked with numerous languages and technologies, and started with mobile development from a native approach to land on the Xamarin world. Now, he is experienced in large-scale enterprise applications along with a continuous phase of learning new languages and tools.
