Bio

David Powers has been writing about Dreamweaver, PHP, CSS, and web development since 2003. This is his twelfth book on the subject. David started developing websites in 1994, shortly after assuming the role of Editor, BBC Japanese TV. He needed a way of advertising the fledgling channel in Japan but had no budget. So, he begged the IT department for a corner of server space and singlehandedly developed an 80-page bilingual website, which he regularly maintained for the next five years.

After a career spanning three decades in radio and TV news, David left the BBC in 1999 to work independently. He’s an Adobe Community Professional and Adobe Certified Instructor for Dreamweaver. You’ll often find him giving help and advice in the Dreamweaver forums and Adobe Developer Center—to which he has contributed many popular tutorials and training videos. He greatly enjoys traveling and taking photos—all the photos used in this book were taken by him.

David has also translated a number of musical plays from Japanese into English, and he likes nothing better than sushi with a glass or two of cold sake.
