Rajesh Jeba Anbiah is a very simple guy who first saw computers only in 1998. Since then he got addicted to programming and co-authored A to Z of C, a non-profit book on Turbo C/DOS programming, while pursuing Master of Computer Applications in The American College, Madurai. After graduation he joined Agriya http://www.agriya.com/, then a startup company, and coded in Perl, Visual Basic, Delphi, and heavily in PHP. Currently he heads the projects division in Agriya, where he oversees challenging Web 2.0 site development, web software products, and labs initiatives. His goal at the workplace is to get big branding and coverage for his labs projects. I thank the entire team of Packt, especially Chaitanya Apte, Pallavi M R, Joel Goveya, Poorvi Nair, Priyanka Shah, and Mary Nadar for their patience, suggestions and support throughout this project. This project wouldn't be a success without the co- operation from the other authors: Milan Sedliak and Roshan Bhattarai. My thanks go to my boss N. Aravind Kumar for allowing me to take up this side project and my wonderful team at workplace for the everlasting spirit and trust. On a personal note, I'd like to thank my wife T. Heleena Thanka Christlet, who is my secret mentor on algorithms and database queries, and my little daughter R. Rithika Sharon for keeping me engaged with this project. Roshan Bhattarai holds an M. Sc. in IT degree and has previously worked in various IT companies in Nepal and India as a Web developer and Technical Lead. Currently, he co-owns and is working as a CTO at Proshore. Roshan owns and authors a popular web development-related blog at http://roshanbh.com.np. I would like to thank my father, mother, wife, brother, and his friends who helped me in writing this book. My special thanks goes to my father because he was the main person who believed in my potential and asked me to study IT rather than another faculty. Milan Sedliak is a JavaScript specialist; jQuery and Cross-browser compatibility is one of his key strengths. He likes challenging tasks and he does everything he can to be at his best in this area. He has experience with all kinds of websites and a lot of technologies (8+ years): Portfolios, company presentations, e- commerce, complicated reporting systems for telecommunication devices, PHP websites with MySQL or MS SQL, ASP.NET 3,5, and 4, (C#) with MS SQL, and so on. Milan has a lot of experience in international environments and is currently employed by Skype as a software engineer specialized in front-end web technologies and cross-browser compatibility. In the past he has worked at Hewlett-Packard, Interoute, and Intertec Media Group. I would like to thank my girlfriend, my family and friends for their support and believing in me, even in times when I didn't.
