About the Author

Daniel Maharry currently lives in Birmingham where he has worked for Wrox Press - both there and in India - for three and a half years as an itinerant editor and diarist with a penchant for the obscure topics. With any luck, this tome will see him starting to come out of that particular malaise. At some point, he will take the under construction sign off hmobius.com and put something there of note. Kurt Cagle is an author and developer with Cagle Communications, specializing in XML web technologies, open source, and computational ethics. He is the author or co-author of more than twelve books covering XML and XSLT, SVG, multimedia and web programming, and is a regular columnist for XML Magazine.
