About the Authors

Eric A. Meyer has been working with the web since late 1993 and is an internationally recognized expert on the subjects of HTML, CSS, and web standards. A widely read author, he is also the founder of Complex Spiral Consulting, which counts among its clients America Online; Apple Computer, Inc.; Wells Fargo Bank; and Macromedia, which described Eric as “a critical partner in our efforts to transform Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 into a revolutionary tool for CSS-based design.”

Beginning in early 1994, Eric was the visual designer and campus web coordinator for the Case Western Reserve University website, where he also authored a widely acclaimed series of three HTML tutorials and was project coordinator for the online version of the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History and the Dictionary of Cleveland Biography, the first encyclopedia of urban history published fully and freely on the web.

Author of Eric Meyer on CSS and More Eric Meyer on CSS (New Riders), CSS: The Definitive Guide (O’Reilly), and CSS2.0 Programmer’s Reference (Osborne/McGraw-Hill), as well as numerous articles for the O’Reilly Network, Web Techniques, and Web Review, Eric also created the CSS Browser Compatibility Charts and coordinated the authoring and creation of the W3C’s official CSS Test Suite. He has lectured to a wide variety of organizations, including Los Alamos National Laboratory, the New York Public Library, Cornell University, and the University of Northern Iowa. Eric has also delivered addresses and technical presentations at numerous conferences, among them An Event Apart (which he cofounded), the IW3C2 WWW series, Web Design World, CMP, SXSW, the User Interface conference series, and The Other Dreamweaver Conference.

In his personal time, Eric acts as list chaperone of the highly active css-discuss mailing list, which he cofounded with John Allsopp of Western Civilisation, and which is now supported by evolt.org. Eric lives in Cleveland, Ohio, which is a much nicer city than you’ve been led to believe. For nine years he was the host of “Your Father’s Oldsmobile,” a big-band radio show heard weekly on WRUW 91.1 FM in Cleveland.

You can find more detailed information on Eric’s personal web page.

 

How does someone get to be the author of Flexbox in CSS, Transitions and Animations in CSS, and Mobile HTML5 (O’Reilly), and coauthor of CSS3 for the Real World (SitePoint)? For Estelle Weyl, the journey was not a direct one. She started out as an architect, used her master’s degree in health and social behavior from the Harvard School of Public Health to lead teen health programs, and then began dabbling in website development. By the time Y2K rolled around, she had become somewhat known as a web standardista at http://www.standardista.com.

Today, she writes a technical blog that pulls in millions of visitors, and speaks about CSS3, HTML5, JavaScript, accessibility, and mobile web development at conferences around the world. In addition to sharing esoteric programming tidbits with her reading public, Estelle has consulted for Kodak Gallery, SurveyMonkey, Visa, Samsung, Yahoo!, and Apple, among others. She is currently the Open Web Evangelist for Instart Logic, a platform that helps make web application delivery fast and secure.

When not coding, she spends her time doing construction, striving to remove the last remnants of communal hippiedom from her 1960s-throwback home. Basically, it’s just one more way Estelle is working to bring the world into the 21st century.
