Jakub Sanecki is an experienced web developer and programmer, with over 11 years of experience. He was born in 1977 in Poland. In 2001, right before graduation (he graduated in Company Management) he founded Fregata - a company where he works even today, and took up his true passion - IT technologies. Starting with providing services related to one of the most popular ERP systems, the company evolved in the direction of programming services and custom software development. With the increasing popularity of Internet, it concentrated on web applications and website development. Author of many web and desktop applications, Jakub works as an independent IT consultant and freelancer, realizing projects of various size and complexity, for various size companies. He also provides training courses relating to IT and web technologies and using them in company environment. For some years he worked as a university teacher, teaching web and desktop programming. As an authorized reseller of Extensoft, Fregata provides Szablonik.net - a website concentrated on using Artisteer, and providing support and additional information about this software tool. Husband and father of two children, Jakub lives with his family in Sosnowiec (in Poland), spending little moments of free time by playing piano or reading books. Almost every book starts with some words, in which the author thanks some people who supported him and allowed him to finish the job. Following this nice and proper tradition, I would also like to thank the people without whom this book would not come into existence. First of all, I would like to thank to my wife Hania, who supported me all the time and forgave all my whims while I was writing; taking care of our home and our son and forgiving me for spending less time with them. I would like to thank my parents who bought me my first computer and who always took care of me and trusted in me, even if my decisions seemed controversial to them. Without their acceptance and trust, I wouldn't have realized my passion and started making a living by founding a small IT company. I would like to thank the rest of my family and my friends, for their patience and understanding while I was writing and didn't have time for them. Last but not least, I would like to thank the people from Packt Publishing, who gave me a chance to write this book and did a great job, spending a lot of their time and work by correcting my initial drafts and providing valuable suggestions. Without their experience, knowledge and commitment, I wouldn't have been able to finish this project.
