About the Author

Dan Barrett is co-owner of Smashing Pixels, a hardcore Web design firm located in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has worked for several large Web agencies whose clientele includes Hewlett-Packard, Novell PeopleSoft, Restoration Hardware, Electronic Arts, and Pacific Bell. His sites have won numerous awards, including several International Web Page Awards and Macromedia's Flash Site of the Day.

He currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, Kristin, two dogs, and by the time this is published, a first child.
