About the Authors
Danny Goodman: is the author of numerous critically acclaimed and best-selling books, includingThe Complete Hyper Card Handbook, Danny Goodman’s AppleScript Handbook, Dynamic HTML:
The De? native Reference, and JavaScript and HTML Cookbook. He is a renowned authority on and
expert teacher of computer scripting languages. His writing style and pedagogy continue to earn
praise from readers and teachers around the world.
Michael Morrison: is a writer, developer, toy inventor, and author of a variety of books covering
topics such as Java, C++, Web scripting, XML, game development, and mobile devices. Some of
Michael’s notable writing projects include Faster Smarter HTML and XML, Teach Yourself HTML
& CSS in 24 Hours, and Beginning Game Programming. Michael is also the founder of Stale?sh Labs
(www.stale?shlabs.com), an entertainment company specializing in unusual games, toys, and
interactive products.
Paul Novitski: has been writing software as a freelance programmer since 1981. He once taught
himself BASIC in order to write a machine language disassembler so that he could lovingly hack
Wang’s OIS microcode. He has focused on internet programming since the late ’90s. His company,
Juniper Webcraft produces HTML-strict websites featuring accessible, semantic markup, separation
of development layers, and intuitive user interfaces. He knows the righteousness of elegant code, the
the poignancy of living on the bleeding edge of wilderness, the sweet melancholy of mbira music, and
the scorching joy of raising twin boys
Tia Gustaff Rayl: is a consultant who does development and training in database and Web
technologies. Most recently she has published courseware for XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, and SQL. It
comes as no surprise to those who know her that she began her software career with degrees in
English and Education from the University of Florida. As is usual for most newcomers to the ?eld,
her introduction to computing was maintaining software. She went on to a long-standing career in the
software industry in full life cycle system, application, and database development; project
management; and training for PC and mainframe environments. In the mid-nineties she worked on
early Web-enabled database applications, adding JavaScript to her repertoire. She continues to take
on development projects to maintain her code-slinging skills. If she had any spare time (and money)
she would go on an around-the-world cruise with her husband and two dogs.
