About the Author
Bill Fitzgerald
was born in 1968, and worked as a teacher for 16 years. During that
time, he taught English and history, and worked as a Technology Director at the K12
level. Bill began using technology in his own teaching in the early '90s; from there,
he moved on to database design and systems administration. During that time, Bill
began developing strategies to support technology integration in 1:1 laptop systems,
and in desktop computing environments.
In 2003, Bill and Marc Poris founded FunnyMonkey, a Drupal development shop
working primarily within the education industry. Bill started, and manages the
Drupal in Education group on
, and is active in
various educational and open source communities. Bill blogs about education and
technology at
.
When Bill is not staring deeply into computer screens, he can be found riding
his ixed gear bicycle through Portland, OR, or spending far too much time
drinking coffee.
This book took nearly six months to write, and I would not have
been able to complete it without the support of numerous people.
First, my wife Isabelle gave unending support and understanding
throughout the entire process—when I was stressed, she helped me
laugh, and that was a gift beyond words.
Additionally, Marc Poris and Jeff Graham, compatriots at
FunnyMonkey, provided support of a different kind: when I was
stressed, they wrote code, and their snippets and modules grace the
pages of this text.
Finally, the team of people I worked with at Packt provided a great
blend of guidance and support. David Barnes, Brinell Lewis, and
Swapna Verlekar all worked with me to keep the project on track,
and I thank them for the opportunity to write this book.
