Manuel Guilbault is a Canadian-born, France-based developer, and works as the CTO of an online marketing startup. After studying software engineering in Montreal, he worked as a full-stack web developer for well-known clients in the press industry, automotive industry, and financial sector for 10 years.
An Aurelia enthusiast since day one, he closely followed the development of the framework, while modestly contributing to it and blogging and talking about it. He is an active member of the Paris Aurelia meetup group.
Passionate about software craftsmanship, agility, and lean principles, he loves to learn and debate about how we do things, why we do them this way, and how they can be improved.
I’d like to thank my friends and family for their tremendous support and enthusiasm for this project. Kudos to Geoffrey for his patience, for all the times I let him handle business issues so I could work on this book, and to Frank for the review and advice. Lastly, my gratitude to my wife, Caroline, who lovingly went through the countless weekends during which I researched and wrote instead of spending time with her.
