Angela C. Buraglia

Joseph Lowery is the author of Joseph Lowery's Beyond Dreamweaver and the co-author of a forthcoming book tentatively titled Macromedia Dreamweaver Web Application Recipies (New Riders)as well as the Dreamweaver MX Bible and the Fireworks MX Bible series (both Wiley). His books are international best-sellers, having sold over 300,000 copies world-wide in nine different languages. As a programmer, Joseph contributed two extensions to the latest release of Fireworks MX. He is also a consultant and trainer and has presented at Seybold in both Boston and San Francisco, Macromedia UCON in the U.S. and Europe, ThunderLizard's Web World, and other locations around the globe¿ranging from New Zealand to Las Vegas. As a partner in Deva Associates, Ltd., Joseph developed the Deva Tools for Dreamweaver set of navigational extensions.

Angela C. Buraglia is the founder of DreamweaverFAQ.com, but she came to the web development profession in a round-about manner. Angela realized she wanted a career that would allow her to start a family and stay home with her husband and child. In an effort to give back to the Macromedia Dreamweaver newsgroup community that helped and encouraged her in her new career, she founded DreamweaverFAQ.com. Although she only intended to be a web developer, life's path has led her to become that and more. In addition to her contribution to this book, Angela was a contributing author to Dreamweaver MX Magic (New Riders), a contributing author to The ColdFusion MX Web Application Construction Kit (Macromedia Press), the lead technical editor for the Dreamweaver MX Bible (Wiley Publishing, formerly Hungry Minds), and involved in one way or another with several other Dreamweaver-related books. Currently, she is also a Team Macromedia volunteer for Dreamweaver.

Angela's future plans are to continue developing DreamweaverFAQ.com, to build and sell Dreamweaver extensions, to give presentations at conferences, and perhaps to become involved in new book projects. Long gone are the days of applying makeup; now Angela applies behaviors and CSS to web sites¿ and most importantly¿is home with her little boy.

Angela lives in Brea, California, with her husband, Ambrogio, and 2-year-old son, Gaetano.
