About the Authors

Vincent LAURIER

Développeur PHP depuis 2009, Vincent Laurier travaille principalement avec le framework Symfony. Ancien professeur de mathématiques/physique, il a conservé son goût pour la pédagogie, et la transmission du savoir. Son premier livre "Solid, tiens-toi bien !" illustre à merveille son effort pour la vulgarisation des connaissances. La conception, l'élégance et la qualité du code sont des problématiques qui lui tiennent à coeur.

Olivier ETIENNE

Olivier ETIENNE is a curious and passionate autodidact. Among other things like programming or music, drawing is a big part of his life, and has been since his childhood. Self-taught, he has made of Blender, Inkscape, and Gimp, its main open source arsenals. Today, his talent as an illustrator serves this educational project, which involves the skills he values the most.
