About the Author

Vijay Joshi is a web developer who lives in New Delhi, India, with his wife and daughter. Coming from a small town named Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand, in the Himalayas, he fell in love with coding while in college. He has also loved PHP and JavaScript/jQuery since his early coding days. Vijay believes that if you are passionate and enjoy your work, it becomes more of a hobby that is not boring and it never feels like a job. After freelancing for a few years, he founded a web development firm called Developers Lab along with two of his friends in New Delhi, where they build products for the travel industry and create custom web applications. Vijay is also the author of PHP jQuery Cookbook, Packt Publishing, and the technical reviewer of PHP AJAX Cookbook and jQuery UI 1.8: The User Interface Library for jQuery. When not coding, he likes to read, spend time with his family, blog occasionally at http://vijayjoshi.org, and dream about getting back in shape.

Writing a book is a long and complicated task and it requires the support and coordination of many people. I am thankful to the entire team at Packt, especially my content development editor, Athira Laji, for being so cooperative and patient with me.

A big thank you to all the technical reviewers as well, who helped me immensely in increasing the overall quality of this book.

Lastly, I am feeling both proud and excited to be able to contribute to the open source community that made me what I am today.
