Peter Lubbers (peterlubbers) lives and breathes HTML5. Yes, even his car has the ‘HTML5’ license plate! Peter is the co-author of Pro HTML5 Programming (Apress, 2011) and the founder of the San Francisco HTML5 User Group, the largest HTML5 User Group in the world.

Peter works at Google as a global program manager in the Chrome Developer Relations team. Prior to that he headed up the HTML5 training division at Kaazing. Prior to joining Kaazing, Peter worked as an information architect at Oracle, where he wrote many books and developed documentation publication automation systems. Three of his automation inventions are patented.

A native of the Netherlands, Peter served as a Special Forces commando in the Royal Dutch Green Berets. In his spare time Peter likes jumping out of planes, bungee-jumping, and running ultra-marathons. He is the three-time winner of the Tahoe Super Triple marathon. Peter lives on the edge of the Tahoe National Forest and loves to run around Lake Tahoe (preferably in one go).
