About the Reviewer

Jose Argudo is a web developer from Valencia, Spain. After finishing his studies, he started working for a web design company. After six years of working for that company, and others, he decided to start working as a freelancer.

Now, he thinks 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 known open source technologies.

His desire to learn and share his knowledge has led him to be a regular reviewer of books from Packt, such as Drupal E-commerce, Joomla With Flash, Joomla! 1.5 SEO, Magento 1.3 Theme Design, and Symfony 1.3 Web Application Development.

Recently he has even published his own book, Codeigniter 1.7, which you can also find at Packt Publishing's site. If you work with PHP...take a look at it.

If you want to know more about him, you can check his website www.joseargudo.com.

For my son Liam, whose enthusiasm for life and sense of wonder renewed my own.
