À propos des auteurs

Richard Jones is a technical director at iKOS-a European digital agencyspecializing in Drupal. Richard's first computer was an 8-bit BBC Master and thisbegan his journey into computing proper. Indeed, his first introduction to workingwith Nick was by way of a school database project using the then legendary AcornViewStore package-way ahead of its time as an EPROM-based offering. Hegraduated with a first class degree in mechanical engineering in 1996 and has beenworking with various web technologies ever since.They have both worked exclusively with Drupal on all their projects for 7 years.Richard and Nick have been collaborating on projects since the mid-1990s and havea great balance of skills between them that mean the first draft of collaborative workwill have already been through many critical rewrites.They both live in the Drupal ecosystem on a daily basis and Getting Started withDrupal Commerce-the first title they worked on with Packt Publishing-was wellreceived.

Nick Abbott is the head of training at iKOS. Nick started his digital life in 1981working on an ICL 2904 mainframe, a Commodore PET, and a Commodore VIC20.After the ritual stint in BASIC, he moved on to writing games in Z80 and 6502assemblers, hardware interfacing, and many happy hours creating business solutionswith the BBC Micro based around the Acorn View family. Old but not obsolete.He graduated with a first class degree in applied physics in the late 1980s, and heworked in IT and education right up until he joined iKOS in 2008.
