Jose Argudo is a web developer from Valencia, Spain. After completing his studies he started working for a web design company. Six years later, he decided to start working as a freelancer.
Now that some years have passed as a freelancer, he thinks it's the best decision he has ever taken, a decision that let 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 Theme Design and Symfony 1.3 web application development.
Recently he has even published his own book, CodeIgniter 1.7, which can be found on the Packt website. If you work with PHP, take a look at it!
He is currently working on a new book for Packt, this time Joomla! related, check for it soon!
