Meet the Author

Christian Wenz takes pride in the fact that he has written about using JavaScript to access remote data long before it was named "AJAX" and the whole buzz started. His (German) JavaScript book containing AJAX-related information goes into its 7th edition soon. He is also the author of PHP Phrasebook (Sams Publishing, September 2005) and Professional PHP5 (Wrox) due in 2006, and wrote or co-wrote over four dozen other titles. Christian works with both open source and closed source web technologies. This leads to the unusual situation that he has both been awarded a Microsoft MVP for ASP/ASP.NET and is listed in Zend's Who is Who of PHP. He is also listed in Mozilla's credits (about:credits) and is considered an expert in browser-agnostic JavaScript. Apart from writing and working on web projects, Christian frequently speaks at developer conferences that cover web technologies.

Christian Wenz is an author, trainer, and consultant. His main focus of working and writing is on web technologies and security.

Apart from writing and working on web projects, Christian also frequently speaks at developer conferences around the globe that cover web technologies. Among them are 2005's Microsoft Tech Ed Europe conference (BOF session) and the 2005 Zend Conference.
