About the Authors
Hi, I'm Joe!
You can find me at ubisend where I work as CTO, spending the majority of my time writing the code the powers our awesome ubiquitous messaging platform.
I specialise in server-side development and enjoy crafting applications in PHP, often opting for the Laravel framework as my weapon of choice.
I have been writing code since 2008 after embarking on a degree in Media Technlogy and Web Development. During my studies, I realised quickly that I got a real kick out of making web pages dynamic and interactive. This led me learn more and hone my skills, which resulted in a first class honours degree. I have been working ever since building new as well as updating and maintaining existing web-based software applications.
I am lucky enough to have an amazing wife and young daughter and when not sculpting code, I enjoy spending as much time with them as possible. I also like to keep fit and travel as much as time allows.
Eric L. Barnes runs and operates Laravel News, a site bringing the Laravel community all the latest news and information about the framework, and is a full-time product engineer. He has worked with PHP and various web technologies for the past 14 years.
