The Professor
Gregg Pollack
Gregg is most passionate about taking complex topics and teaching them in the most efficient way possible. He's helped build a few technology companies including Envy Labs, a Ruby on Rails consultancy in downtown Orlando, and Code School (where you are right now). He also runs Orlando's yearly BarCamp, the Orlando Ruby Users Group, and Orlando Tech Events newsletter. Hobbies include theatre, dance, podcasting, Game of Thrones, good scotch, learning how to run a business "the hard way", and using way too many commas in a single paragraph (apparently).

Greg Funtusov
Backbone.js is an amazing framework, it gives freedom, but with freedom comes a lot of questions. This is a good best-practices course that covers some of the topics that arises when building larger backbone apps. I work with backbone a lot, but still have found new information in every level, keep up the good work, codeschool! P.S. And don't forget to use Backbone with coffeescript, it's just plain beauty when used together!
