Joeri Poesen is a longtime Drupal user, developer, and trainer. He loves nothing more than scouring the planet, learning how open source tools such as Drupal empower individuals and organizations, and how he can contribute to their adoption.
When not traveling or organizing community events, Joeri is probably giving a Drupal training session somewhere in Europe—most likely in Paris, France.
This book is dedicated to my parents, Michael and Judy James, who taught me the value of hard work and dedication to the task at hand.
