Stars of the world frontend 3. Here the Russian spirit, here Russia smells
Continuation of the previous two articles - World Frontend Stars and World Frontend Stars 2. JS Lovers .
I understand that both in many companies and web-studios, and among freelancers, there are excellent technologists, front-ends, and js-coders, which can potentially be called frontend stars. But again, you can not select one point, and the other silent. Therefore, I decided to tell about those whose names are heard.
Some of them from time to time can be found on Habré, many are familiar with them. If suddenly I missed something important, or someone wants to correct or supplement something, unsubscribe in comments and I will promptly update the article.

Dmitry started to work on the web while he was studying at the university, and after trying out different technology kits, he focused on serious immersion in JavaScript. Moreover, not only from a practical point of view, but also from a theoretical one - his series “ECMAScript Subtleties” on design and language theory has already been translated into several languages. Dima periodically participates in online discussions of the TC-39 (ECMAScript Standardization Committee), speaks at specialized conferences, and is also a reviewer of some books on JavaScript, such as Stoyan Stefanov's “JavaScript Patterns” and several chapters of the next edition of the book “Professional JavaScript by Nicholas Zakas. In addition to JS, he is interested in languages ​​such as Python, Ruby, Lua, CoffeeScript and Erlang, which he has been studying for two years now. One of the reports on the future of ECMAScript can be found here . At the moment, Dmitry is working in Facebook in the position of Software Engineer, and in those moments when he is not busy with work, he writes music in trance and techno style.
Currently, Dmitry is engaged in programming in JavaScript / Erlang and is an ECMAScript theorist.

At the time when I first entered KNURE, Dmitriy graduated from the KhAI and worked at the famous MaxBill company in Kharkov (in the past). Being engaged there by rewriting flash controls on SVG, he even then became interested in this technology. At the moment, Dmitry is known, first of all, by the libraries Raphaël and gRaphaël , which, using SVG and VML, make it easier to work with vector graphics on the web. News about this thing appeared on Habré back in 2008. In the summer of 2010, Raphaël teamed up with jQTouch and Ext JS, creating the Sencha project. As a result, Dmitry worked for a year in Sencha in the position of Software Architect.
In addition, Baranovsky has a number of interesting developments, among which Optimus is a transformer of microformats , CSC is a conference planner , JavaScript Pie-chart (interactive graphics) , Lines is a popular game on JS , and also Typographer . He currently lives in Australia and works for Digital Five Sydney as an Architect.

Often found on the web under the nickname "kangax", Yuri is known as one of the developers of the core Prototype.js . In his free time he does his fabric.js framework, which makes it easy to work with HTML5 canvas. However, he doesn’t have much free time - Yura speaks at various conferences , writes articles on Ajaxian , Reddit or Hacker News , and also answers questions on Stack Overflow . Also, like Dmitry Soshnikov, he enjoys the theory of JavaScript and periodically reads ECMAScript specifications. In addition, Yuri provides consulting services for JS, which have been used by a number of companies, including Aptana, Inc.

“Sergey started working on the web from the age of 13, he worked as a technologist at Lebedev Studio for 4 years and is now engaged in Aymobilka .” A set of these facts can be found in almost every interview on the Runet’s open spaces, so it’s best to put links to some of them: interviews on 5shots , interviews on ArtJoker , a large number of answers to questions in the footsteps of the 404 conference. Those who don’t like to read can familiarize yourself with the ninth issue of the podcast “Make me beautiful” , where he took part and answered questions on the front-end, IDE, optimization and much more within an hour. Video lovers will also not be offended - you can find records of reports that he did. For example, from 404fest .
Personally, I first learned from Chikuenke when the project Zen Coding was presented to Habré in 2009, one of the developers of which he was. A similar article appeared on smashingmagazine.com, where a stormy discussion unfolded in the comments, with almost 300 comments. At the same smashingmagazine.com there is a whole series of articles by Sergey dedicated to image optimization.

As it turned out, the main part of the information that I wanted to write about Vadim, has already been collected and beautifully framed on various resources. First of all, this is the Author page on his website and the profile in My Circle . The following sources of information will be similar to those in the block above — the first interview , the second, and the podcast . If we take a brief squeeze, we can say that at the moment Vadim is a web evangelist at Opera Software, a web developer, a web standards advocate. In the past, he worked in such well-known companies as SUP Factory and Yandex . As for his social activities, he is in this area - ogogo. First of all, Vadim is the organizer of the “Web Standards” community and regular Web Standards Days conferences , which are held in at least four countries. Also, he is the ideologue of Zen Coding. It is quite interesting to watch Vadim on the Internet - in particular, some tricky remarks about the layout of various websites appear on his Twitter account, and all sorts of useful video reports or interesting interviews appear on his channel in Vimeo .

It is difficult to find an HTML coder who would not know Kharisov - a person who went from HTML coder (2006) in Yandex to the Head of Development in Ukraine, which is logical - after all, Vitaly had been working and working in Simferopol all this time. He is the ideologue of BEM , periodically carrying this knowledge to the world. A year ago, they published an entertaining article about creating an ideal office for developing software , I recommend reading.
