About the Authors

Hagen Graff was born in July 1964. Born and raised in Lower Saxony, Germany, his first contact

with a computer was in the late seventies with a Radioshack TRS 80. As a salesperson, he organized

his customers' data by programming suitable applications. This gave him a big advantage over other

salesmen. With the intention of honing his skills, he joined evening courses in programming and

became a programmer. Nowadays he works in his wife's consulting company as a trainer, consultant,

and programmer ( http://alternative-unternehmensberatung.de ).

Hagen Graf has published three other books in German, about the Apache web server, about

security problems in Windows XP, and about Mambo. Since 2001, he has been engaged in a

nonprofit e-learning community called "machm-it.org e.V.", as well as in several national and

international projects. All the projects are related to content management, community building,

and harnessing the power of social software like wikis and weblogs. He chose Mambo CMS, from

which Joomla! has forked, because of its simplicity and easy-to-use administration. You can

access and comment on his blog ( http://hagen.take-part.org ).

This is the second time, a book of mine has been translated from German to English. It

isn't easy to organize the translation in another language in a reasonable way, especially

on a topic on Open Source Software. One point is that most of the software is developed

in international communities basically in English language. Another point is the speed of

the development. Release fast, release often! Today we have Joomla 1.0.7 and the

development is going on.

It is now time for thanks...

I wish to thank the Joomla community who made this wonderful world wide project possible.

I also wish to thank the Packt Publishing team, especially Louay, Nanda, Dipali, Abhishek,

Chris, Manjiri, and Helen (for the dynamic cover picture). I also wish to thank Alex

Kempkens, core member of the Joomla! devteam and Angie Radtke who is very much

engaged in improving the accessibility of Joomla! websites.

They all have done an excellent job!
