About the Technical Reviewer

Evan Coyne Maloney taught himself how to program after inheriting an Apple IIe computer. As a young teen in the mid-1980s, he published an operating system for the Apple II line called FoscilDOS that was highlighted by both Byte and A+ magazines. Evan began writing Internet software in 1994, creating the KeepTalking chat system, the first purely browser-based live-updating chat system. In 1996, Evan wrote the web-based political campaign simulation game DarkHorse for MSNBC.com. During the presidential campaign that year, the game logged many millions of hours of play and was even used in political science classes at various high schools and colleges. Since 2001, Evan has put his development efforts towards mobile content delivery and commerce. He conceived of and built the first several versions of the award-winning News Pro line of iPhone and iPad applications from the Reuters news agency. Evan joined online retailer Gilt Groupe in 2010, where he is now the principal engineer for the company's critically acclaimed and highly ranked iOS applications.
