Massimo Foti began using Dreamweaver on the very day the first beta was available, and he has used Dreamweaver ever since.

Massimo has been a prolific extension developer since the pioneering days of Dreamweaver 1. He is the creator of https://www.massimocorner.com, and winner of the Macromedia Best Extension Developer award in 2000 and Top New Extension for Dreamweaver MX. His extensions are featured on the Macromedia Exchange for Dreamweaver and have been featured in many books and magazines.

He is a certified Dreamweaver developer and certified Advanced ColdFusion developer. His tips, articles and custom tags for ColdFusion are available on https://www.cfmentor.com, the web site of the Italian CFUG.

Massimo works at https://www.amila.ch developing database driven websites using ColdFusion and PHP with different RDMSs, his work ranges from database design to server- and client-side programming for web-based applications.

An avid reader of computer books, he often works as tech editor, contributor, and reviewer for publishers like Osborne, New Riders, Glasshaus, and O'Reilly. Acknowledgment: Thanks to Angela and Dan for brilliantly taking care of all the dirty jobs, allowing me to just have fun with code. To all the people at https://www.amila.ch; most of my work on this book is inspired by what we do there day by day. As you may know, ColdFusion developers get the best women (even if Macromedia doesn't tell you about that); so once again I had the pleasure to work with the wonderful ladies at New Riders. Very special thanks to Federica and Tiziana, for all the times I sit in front of a PC and forget about the rest. You are the best things in my life.

Angela C. Buraglia used to be a makeup artist for independent film, but she needed a career that would allow her to work from home and raise her son. Although she intended only to be a web developer, life's path has led her to become that and more. She is perhaps best known as the founder of DreamweaverFAQ.com, a site dedicated to serving the Dreamweaver community which she continues to run today with Daniel Short. In addition to this book, Angela is also the co-author of Dreamweaver MX Killer Tips and Dreamweaver MX 2004 Killer Tips with Joseph Lowery. She was a contributing author to Dreamweaver MX Magic, the lead technical editor for the Dreamweaver MX Bible (Wiley), and a contributing author to ColdFusion MX Web Application Construction Kit (Macromedia Press). 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.

Acknowledgment: Massimo, your guidance since I started Dreamweaver is really worth more than mere thanks. I'm not sure I could ever repay you (but keep reading). Daniel Short, this book just wouldn't be the same without your magic touch. Working with my best friend is always a pleasure. I couldn't have done this book without your help and support. Next time I see you two, count on dinner. I would be remiss to not mention all the people who have helped and inspired me throughout the years, unfortunately I can't name all of you in this small space. I am forever thankful to you nonetheless. Linda Bump, I've learned so much about the authoring process from you and I appreciate all you've done for me. Thanks to the team at New Riders. I must say that this has been one incredible group of people to work with; thank you to all of the contributing authors.

Daniel Short is the chief developer for Web Shorts Site Design as well as a devoted Team Macromedia Volunteer and uses almost the entire Macromedia Studio including Fireworks, ColdFusion, and Dreamweaver.
