About the Author

Diego Torres Milano has been involved with the Android platform since its

inception, at the end of 2007, when he started exploring and researching the platform

possibilities, mainly in the areas of User Interfaces, Unit and Acceptance Tests, and

Test Driven Development.

This is relected by a number of articles mainly published in his personal blog

( http://dtmilano.blogspot.com ) and his participation as a lecturer in some

conferences and courses like Mobile Dev Camp 2008 in Amsterdam (Netherlands)

and Japan Linux Symposium 2009 (Tokyo), Droidcon London 2009, Skillsmatter

2009 (London, UK), and he has also authored Android training courses delivered to

various companies in Europe.

Previously, he was the founder and developer of several Open Source projects,

mainly CULT Universal Linux Thin Project ( cult-thinclient.sf.net ) and the

very successful PXES Universal Linux Thin Client project (that was later acquired

by 2X Software, www.2x.com ). PXES is a Linux-based Operating System specialized

for thin clients used by hundreds of thousands of thin clients all over the world. This

project has a popularity peak of 35M hits and 400K downloads from SourceForge

in 2005. This project had a dual impact: big companies in Europe decided to use it

because of improved security and eficiency; organizations, institutions, and schools

in some developing countries in South America, Africa, and Asia decided to use

it because of the minimal hardware requirements to have a huge social impact

providing computers, sometimes recycled ones, to everyone.

Among the other Open Source projects that he has founded we can mention

Autoglade, Gnome-tla, JGlade, and he has been contributing to various Linux

distributions such as RedHat, Fedora, and Ubuntu.

He also has been giving presentations in Linux World, LinuxTag, GUADEC ES,

University of Buenos Aires, and so on.

He has been developing software, participating in Open Source projects, and

advising companies worldwide for more than 15 years.

He can be contacted at dtmilano@gmail.com .

Firstly, I would like to thank my family: Laura, Augusto and Octavio

for their patience and consideration. The time I borrowed to achieve

this goal was mostly theirs.

Secondly I would like to thank my personal friend and IN3

Integracion Informatica co-founder, Caludio Palonsky, with whom

we started this amazing adventure more than 15 years ago when we

pioneered the provision of Linux services and support to enterprises

in South America. He certainly taught me to be a bit more consultant

and a bit less hacker (but I'm a very bad student :-)). And special

thanks to Ricston's Peter Delia with whom we started providing

Android training services throughout Europe as early as mid 2008

when Android was just a beautiful dream of having a mainstream

Open Source operating system in the mobile arena. This is now a

reality dictated by the market.

And lastly I would like to thank all the reviewers and the Packt

Publishing team who gave me their opinion, suggestions, and

corrections on early manuscripts; without them the book would

never have had the quality it endowed.
