| About author |
 Kevin Schroeder —
Kevin Schroeder has a memory TTL of 10 years, and so he has been working with PHP for longer than he can remember. This is his third book on PHP, preceded by The IBM i Programmer's Guide to PHP (MC Press, 2009) and You Want to Do WHAT with PHP? (MC Press, 2010). Kevin is a member of the Zend Certification Advisory Board and is a Magento Certified Developer Plus. He has spoken at numerous conferences, including ZendCon, where he was twice the MC.
When his head isn't in code (if code is poetry, then it is Vogon poetry), Kevin is writing music, having been a guitarist since hair bands were cool (and having survived their welcomed demise). He has recorded two albums, Coronal Loop Safari and Loudness Wars.
Kevin's wisdom is dispensed to his loyal followers on Twitter as @kpschrade and on his blog at www.eschrade.com, where he speaks in the first person.
