About the Author:

Ghica van Emde Boas

Ghica van Emde Boas has worked for IBM in the Netherlands for 30 years: as relational database developer, as IT Architect, and as a Java developer involved with the largest Java framework ever written, the IBM SanFrancisco Framework. She has been taking part in the development of object-oriented methodologies within IBM. She taught these at IBM's Object Technology University in Belgium and the USA. Ghica participated in writing two IBM red books and she has published two articles, one in the IBM Journal of Research and Development, and one in the IBM Systems Journal.

She has co-organized several workshops on Generative Model Transformations at OOPSLA (Object Oriented Programming Languages and Applications), the conference where all new development methodologies were first introduced during the last 25 years.

Ghica is now an independent consultant specializing in PHP, MySQL, and AJAX technologies. She helped write the Client Framework documentation for Backbase. She has written two books in Dutch about PHP and MySQL, for Pearson Education and she has contributed considerably to the Dutch translation of Foundations of AJAX (Asleson, Schutta, for Apress).

Sergey Ilinsky

Sergey Ilinsky is a senior UI engineer at Nedstat BV. He has worked for Backbase for 3 years, evangelizing open-standards based software development, and engineering and developing core parts of the Backbase Client Framework.

Having been heavily involved with client-side development since 2003 he became an expert in many web technology standards such as DOM, XBL2, SVG, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, as well as in proprietary ones such as HTC, VML, XBL or XUL. He can frequently be found on AJAX- or Client-side technology-related forums or he can be met at international conferences where he occasionally gives talks.

Sergey is nowadays busy with his new open-source project: the JavaScript GUI framework "Ample SDK", where he tries to put many great browser-based application development practices into one easy-to-use software development platform.
