About the Authors

Charles E. Brown is one of the most noted authors, teachers, and consultants in the computer industry today. His first two books, Beginner Dreamweaver MX and Fireworks MX: Zero to Hero, have received critical acclaim and are consistent bestsellers. This year, Charles will be releasing books on VBA for Microsoft Access, and the new Microsoft FrontPage environment. He is also a Fireworks MX contributor for the MX Developer’s Journal. In addition to his busy writing schedule, he conducts frequent seminars for Future Media Concepts, speaking about the Macromedia development environment. In 2004, he will also be involved in developing e-learning courses using Macromedia’s RoboDemo development environment.

When Charles is not writing and teaching, he is a consultant for many high-profile websites. This year, he is placing a lot of his web development efforts with the Flash MX 2004 Professional environment. He feels strongly that this is the future of web development.

Charles is also a noted classical organist, pianist, and guitarist who studied with such notables as Vladimir Horowitz, Virgil Fox, and Igor Stravinsky. It was because of his association with Stravinsky that he got to meet, and develop a friendship with, famed 20th-century artist Pablo Picasso.

Ron Petrusha has over 25 years of experience in the computer industry and is the author of ten computer books and numerous print and online articles. He is the principal of Howling Wolf Consulting Services, a company that provides editorial services to the publishing industry and also offers application and web development services using Microsoft technologies.
