Person
Richard Jones is a technical director at iKOS-a European digital agency
specializing in Drupal. Richard's first computer was an 8-bit BBC Master and this
began his journey into computing proper. Indeed, his first introduction to working
with Nick was by way of a school database project using the then legendary Acorn
ViewStore package-way ahead of its time as an EPROM-based offering. He
graduated with a first class degree in mechanical engineering in 1996 and has been
working with various web technologies ever since.
They have both worked exclusively with Drupal on all their projects for 7 years.
Richard and Nick have been collaborating on projects since the mid-1990s and have
a great balance of skills between them that mean the first draft of collaborative work
will have already been through many critical rewrites.
They both live in the Drupal ecosystem on a daily basis and Getting Started with
Drupal Commerce-the first title they worked on with Packt Publishing-was well
received.
