About the Reviewers
Jose Argudo is a web developer from Valencia, Spain. After finishing his studies,
he started working for a web designing company. After six years of working for
that company and others, he decided to start working as a freelancer.
Now, after some years have passed, he thinks that it's the best decision he has
ever made, a decision that lets him work with the tools he likes, such as Joomla!,
CodeIgniter, CakePHP, JQuery, and other well-known open source technologies.
For the last few months, he has also been reviewing some of the books for Packt
Publishing, such as Magento 1.3 Theme Design, Magento: Beginner's Guide, Magento
Development with PHP, Joomla! SEO, and Symfony 1.3 Web Application Development.
If that weren't enough, he is also writing a book on CodeIgniter for Packt
Publishing—a book he is putting all his efforts on.
To Silvia and Luis.

Computer Systems Management course and is now willing to start with another of

and Dreamweaver.
After finishing her studies, she would like to set up her own web
development business.
