About the Author

Michael Peacock has been building websites since the year 2000. Starting off building websites for friends and family as a hobby, he set up his own business, Think Systems Internet (http://www.thinksystemsinternet.com), in early 2006. Michael is currently in his second year at Durham University studying Computer Science and, while not developing websites or studying, he enjoys taking part in amateur dramatics. Helping customers realize their visions and creating web applications that become integral to their business are just some of the reasons Michael loves being a part of the web development industry.

I would like to thank everyone who has helped make this book possible, in particular Douglas Paterson for introducing me to the world of TYPO3, Patricia Weir, and Abhijeet Deobhakta for keeping me on track, Ved Jha, Ajay S, and Nikhil Bangera for helping me improve and refine this book, Ingo Renner the technical reviewer for ensuring everything was as accurate as possible and of course everybody in the Packt team.

I would also like to thank you, the reader, I hope you enjoy this book—so that all of my efforts have paid off.

I''d like to dedicate this book to my girlfriend Emma, for being there for me and supporting me during the writing of this book.
