The author – Linus Bourque – Senior Technical Instructor Quote from Amazon:
So I'm Canadian (I bet you can tell by my accent, eh?) and live in the sunny land known as Los Angeles. This year (2013) I will celebrate 8 great years with VMware. I started my career with VMware when a good friend and former Seneca College (Toronto) colleague Scott Laforet said, “Dude! You gotta come and get a job with Andrew and me at this little start-up! It rocks!”
