About the Author

Hoc Phan is a technologist with a lot of experience in frontend development. He started programming at the age of 12 with Pascal and Assembly on a 486 computer. The way he learned was to start practicing right away even before figuring out concepts. Hoc worked on many JavaScript projects in the past by teaching himself the framework using various online sources. He was one of the first few developers who tested Ionic for its feasibility as a JavaScript replacement of the native language of a device. He wrote the Full Stack Mobile App with Ionic Framework book (for more information, visit http://www.amazon.com/Full-Stack-Mobile-Ionic-Framework-ebook/dp/B00QF1H380/), which was very well-received.

He has worked for both start-ups and large companies. By frequently speaking at local meet-ups as well as cloud computing / Big Data industry events and conferences, he learns from other experts. He holds an MBA degree from the University of Washington's Michael G. Foster School of Business.
