About the Authors
Shea Frederick began his career in web development before the term 'Web
Application' became commonplace. By the late 1990s, he was developing web
applications for Tower Records that combined a call center interface with inventory
and fulfillment. Since then, Shea has worked as a developer for several companies,
building and implementing various commerce solutions, content management
systems, and lead tracking programs.
Integrating new technologies to make a better application has been a driving
point for Shea's work. He strives to use open-source libraries, as they are often the
launching pad for the most creative technological advances. After stumbling upon a
young user interface library called yui-ext several years ago, Shea contributed to its
growth by writing documentation, tutorials, and example code. He has remained an
active community member for the modern yui-ext library—Ext JS. Shea's expertise
is drawn from community forum participation, work with the core development
team, and his own experience as the architect of several large Ext JS-based web
applications. He currently lives in Baltimore, Maryland, with his wife and two dogs,
and spends time skiing, biking, and watching the Steelers.
A big loving thanks goes out to my wife Becky for looking over my
shoulder to correct the many grammatical errors my fingers produce,
and for always being there to support me.
Colin Ramsay began his career building ASP websites as a part-time developer
at university. Since then, he's been involved with a range of web technologies
and employers in the North East of England, working on everything from flash-
in-the-pan web frameworks to legacy applications. Most recently, he has used
this experience to provide a springboard for the formation of his UK-based web
development company, Plastiscenic Limited. From writing articles and blog posts
across the web, Colin has made the leap to book authoring with the patience and
kind assistance of his friends and family.
