How many hats can one woman wear?
I'm an expert in fields from the Mac (since 1992), Web development (since 1995), programming (since 1977--yes, really), online communities (since 1994), and weblogging (since 1999). I've written and taught about all of these, and more. I've authored or co-authored:
• "Dreamweaver CS6 for Windows & Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide" (Peachpit Press, 2009)
• "JavaScript & Ajax for the Web: Visual QuickStart Guide, 7e" (Peachpit Press, 2009)
• "Ajax Essential Training" video course (Lynda.com, 2008)

Previous Presentations:
