Mario Casciaro is a software engineer and entrepreneur, passionate
about technology, science and open source knowledge. Mario
graduated with a master's degree in software engineering and
started his professional career at IBM where he worked for several
years on different enterprise products such as Tivoli Endpoint
Manager, Cognos Insight, and SalesConnect. Next, he moved to D4H
Technologies, a growing SaaS company, to lead the development of a
new bleeding-edge product for managing emergency operations in real
time. Currently, Mario is the co-founder and CEO of Sponsorama.com,
a platform to help online projects raise funds through corporate
sponsorship.
Mario is also the author of the first edition of Node.js Design
Patterns. Luciano Mammino is a software engineer born in 1987, the
same year that the Nintendo released Super Mario Bros in Europe,
which by chance is his favorite video-game. He started coding at
the age of 12 using his father's old Intel 386, provided only with
the DOS operating system and the qBasic interpreter.
After a master's degree in computer science he developed his
programming skills mostly as a web developer working mainly as
freelancer for companies and startups all around Italy. After a
start-up parenthesis of 3 years as CTO and co-founder of Sbaam.com
in Italy and in Ireland, he decided to relocate in Dublin to work
as senior PHP engineer at Smartbox.
He loves developing open source libraries and working with
frameworks such as Symfony and Express. He is convinced that the
JavaScript fame is still at the very beginning and that this
technology will have a huge impact in the future of most of the
web-and mobile-related technologies. For this reason, he spends
most of his free time improving his knowledge of JavaScript and
playing with Node.js.
