Jose Argudo is a web developer from Valencia, Spain. After completing his studies he started working for a web design company. Then, six years later, he decided to freelance.
Now that some years have passed as a freelancer, he thinks it's the best decision he has ever taken because it let him work with the tools that 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 Publishing, including 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 you can also find on Packt's site. If you work with PHP, take a look at it!
Now he is working on a new book for Packt, and this time it is Joomla! related. Check for it soon!
