About the Author
Dan Wellman lives with his wife and children in his home town of Southampton
on the south coast of England. By day, his mild-mannered alter-ego works for a
small, yet accomplished, e-commerce production agency. By night, he battles the
forces of darkness and ghts for truth, justice, and less intrusive JavaScript.
Dan has been writing computer-related articles, tutorials, and reviews for around
ve years and is rarely very far from a keyboard of some description.
This is his second book.
I'd like to say a big, personal thank you to the Packt editorial
team for their continued support and encouragement, and to the
jQuery UI development team for producing such an incredible
library. Special thanks also goes out to Eamon O'Donoghue for his
invaluable graphic/imagery advice, and to Mike Newth for his
equally invaluable printing assistance. Finally, I'd like to thank James
Zabiela, Andrew Herman, Steve Bishop, Aaron Matheson, Dan
Goodall, Mike Woodford, and John Adams; they contributed in no
way towards this book, but are nevertheless the greatest bunch of
dudes a guy could hang out with.
