About the Authors
Shea Frederick began his career in web development before the term 'Web
Application' was commonplace. By the late 1990s, he was developing web
applications for Tower Records that combined the call center interface with
inventory and fulllment. 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.
Shea is the primary author of the rst book published on Ext JS, a book which
helps to ease beginners into the Ext JS library. He is also a core developer on the
Ext JS project along with writing columns for JSMag and running the local
Baltimore/DC JavaScript Meetup. His ramblings can be found on his blog,
http://www.vinylfox.com and open source code contributions on Github
at http://www.github.com/VinylFox/.
Colin Ramsay began his career building PHP and ASP websites as a part-time
developer while at university. Since then, he's been involved with a range of
web technologies in his work with a range of companies in the North East of
England—everything from ash-in-the-pan web frameworks to legacy applications.
After forming his rst company in 2007, putting his past experience into action, he
went on be a partner at Go Tripod Ltd, a design and development company with
clients across the UK. 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.
