Steve Chaloner has been a software developer, consultant and mentor since 1999. He specialises in Java, but believes in using the right tool for the job. The right tool for him, for web-based applications at least, is the Play! framework, which is rocking his world.
He is the author of several open-source projects, the most successful of which is Deadbolt, an authorization system for Play!
In 2011, he was selected as one of the Expert Reviewers for the Play! Framework Cookbook, along with the creator of Play! and one of its oldest contributors. At the moment of writing this, he is also one of the expert reviewers for two upcoming books on Play 2 from Manning, and another book on Play 2 from Packt.
In 2012, Steve co-founded the Belgian Play! Framework User Group with Ben Verbeken.
Steve blogs at http://www.objectify.be (which is also where this text was taken from, in respect of the DRY principle), and tweets at https://twitter.com/steve_objectify.
This book was written in Markdown, and its source files are available on GitHub at https://github.com/schaloner/deadbolt-2-guide.
