Firefox Hacks [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

About the Author

Nigel McFarlane (http://www.nigelmcfarlane.com) is the Mozilla
community''s regular technical commentator, focused
on education, analysis, and a few narrowly scoped bugs. He works
full-time on Mozilla matters, except when interrupted by other
things. The core Mozilla hackers are slowly getting used to him.

Nigel writes extensively on Mozilla, Firefox, and open source,
including the columns Searching for
Substance at
InformIT and
Mozilla Meanderings for
TUX . He contributes to a
number of journals, including Inside Web
Development and Linux Journal,
numerous online publications, and to the W3C''s
sXBL specification.

In addition to writing, Nigel messes around with programming and
waves his arms about. He sometimes consults to industry and
government. He holds science degrees from the University of Melbourne
and La Trobe University. He is the author of several JavaScript Web
books (WROX Press) and the authoritative Rapid Application
Development with Mozilla (Prentice Hall)the Mozilla
community''s favorite text in print. Other strong
points are telecommunications, data systems, and the Web. On the
human side, he spends a lot of time studying the forces and processes
behind open source, invention, and online communities in general.

When not welded to the computer, Nigel enjoys Melbourne, Australia,
his home city. It''s often named the
world''s most livable city, and not without reason.
Outdoors there are no computers, so bushwalking, swimming, music, and
city rambles are great ways to relax.
