About the Authors
Craig Cook has been designing and building websites since 1998, though he still silently harbors the aspiration to draw comic books. His background is in traditional graphic design, and although he spent years learning how to make ink stick to paper, he fell in love with the Web and the affair continues to this day. In addition to his passions for design and technology, Craig has an affinity for science-fiction novels, zombie movies, and black T-shirts. He occasionally muses on these subjects and others at his personal website, focalcurve.com
. Craig lives and works near San Francisco.
Jason Garber is a web developer living and working near Washington, DC. He got his start building websites in 1996, long before turning a hobby into a career in 2003. Jason founded Refresh DC, a community of web designers, developers, and other new media professionals. He remains active in the community and continues to help organize monthly Refresh DC meetings. Jason also plays guitar in a DC post-rock band, The Orchid, and obsessively collects vinyl records. He sometimes writes on his personal site, sixtwothree.org

Acknowledgments
I must first thank all of the authors, artists, designers, coders, bloggers, evangelists, and gurus on whose shoulders I stand. Ive been inspired and guided by the work and teachings of Dan Cederholm, Tantek elik, Joe Clark, Chris Coyier, Derek Featherstone, Mark Norman Francis, Aaron Gustafson, Christian Heilmann, Molly Holzschlag, Jeremy Keith, Bruce Lawson, Ethan Marcotte, Scott McCloud, Eric Meyer, Chris Mills, Dave Shea, Greg Storey, Jeffrey Zeldman and many others equally deserving of a name-drop but Im trying to keep this short.
I should also extend gratitude to all the daily-grinders, cubicle-dwellers, and impassioned community members who strive to build a better Webnot for riches and adoration but simply because they love what they do and care about doing it right. Youre making the Web a better place to live. Take a bow.
Many kind thanks to my co-author, Jason, for jumping in feet first. What with the glacial pace of my writing, your two chapters easily shaved months off the schedule. Thanks also to everyone at Apress/Friends of ED for your patience with my aforementioned glacial pace throughout this entire process. Its done now.
Thank you Bill, Jannyce, and Jolene for your continued friendship and support, and big thanks to Stephanie Hobson, Cindy Li, and Matt Harris for being my super heroes.
Im endlessly grateful for my parents, R.L. and Beverly, who instilled me with a desire to learn, a passion to create, and a compulsion to instruct.
