About This Site
Howdy! My name is Matt Raible and I am the developer and maintainer of this site. It mainly consists of my thoughts and opinions on the technologies I use and develop with. I've had quite a ride in the last decade+, serving as the Lead UI Architect for LinkedIn, enhancing Evite.com with GWT and Grails and building a kick-ass team of developers as the Chief Architect of Web Development at Time Warner Cable.
Most recently, I was a Developer Advocate at Okta and worked on the @oktadev and Auth0 DevRel teams.
During this time, I wrote a lot of technical blog posts on the Okta Developer Blog and articles for InfoQ. I'm a big fan and contributor to the JHipster project. If you're into Spring Boot and Angular (or React/Vue), you should check it out!
I develop and maintain the JHipster Mini-Book, the Angular Mini-Book, and helded create Ionic for JHipster.
In 2016, The Bus 1.0 was released! It's been through a few updates since and Hefe 3.5 was released in March 2018.

Matt's Biography: A Montana native who grew up in a log cabin without electricity or running water. After hiking to school a mile and a half daily (and skiing in the winter), he would arrive home to a loving family. "The Cabin" is a beautiful and awesome place that will always be near and dear to Matt's entire family. Even without electricity, his father, Joseph, connected them to the Internet using a 300-baud modem, a Commodore 64, and a small generator. CompuServe was the name, slow was the game. Matt became inspired by the Internet in the early 1990s and has been developing websites and web applications ever since. He graduated from the University of Denver in 1997 with degrees in Russian, International Business, and Finance.
Matt currently resides in Denver, Colorado, and is the proud father of Abbie and Jack. He consults as a Web Architect for Raible Designs and is always striving to find the best solutions for developing web applications. His current technologies of choice can be found in JHipster.
Matt met Trish McGinity in June 2010 and it changed his life forever. They were married at Holland Lake in 2013. If you like Matt, there's a good chance you'll like Trish even more! She excels at horseback riding, skiing, loving, laughing, and having a good time. You can see Trish's amazing photos at mcginityphoto.com.
When he's not cranking out code, Matt prefers to hang out with his wonderful family, ski/raft/hike/mountain bike, or drive a really kick-ass VW Bus/Van. He plans to travel the world, write for a living, and hike/raft/ski/drive his way into old age.
Raible Designs is the name of the consulting company I operated from May 1998 to September 2016. It is no longer in business. You can see what I'm currently doing by looking at my LinkedIn profile.
