About the Author

Before graduating from McGill University in Montreal with a Bachelor
of Computer Engineering, Kevin was not only a budding Web developer himself,
but also an active advisor for the Sausage Software Web Development Forums,
and writer of several practical guides on advanced HTML and JavaScript.
These days, when he's not discovering new technologies, writing books,
or catching up on sleep, Kevin can be found helping other up-and-coming Web
developers in the SitePoint Forums.
