Benjamin LaGrone

Benjamin LaGrone is a web developer who lives and works in Texas. He got his start in programming at the age of 6 when he took his first computer class at The Houston Museum of Natural Science. His first program was a "Choose your own adventure" book written in BASIC, and he has fond memories of the days when software needed you to write line numbers.Fast forward about thirty years, and after deciding that these computers are here to stay, Ben has made a career combining some of his favorite things - art¬ and coding; creating art from code. One of his favorite projects was using the GMaps API to map pathologies to chromosomes for cancer research.Fascinated for a long time with mobile devices, Ben thinks that the responsive web is one of the most exciting, yet long awaited, new aspects of web development. He now works in a SAAS development shop and is the mobile and responsive web evangelist for the team.When he's not working on some Internet project, Ben spends some time building robots, tinkering with machines, drinking coffee, surfing, and teaching Kuk Sool martial arts.This book could not have been written without the patience and support of my loving wife, Hannah, and my two beautiful daughters, Daphne and Darby. Thank you.
