About the Author
David is a writer and broadcaster on international affairs, with a particular
interest in Japan. He got the Internet bug in the days when Netscape ruled the
world and websites were entirely hand coded. Then came WYSIWYDDG (what you see
is what you definitely don't get) HTML editors. He tried a whole bunch, including
several Japanese ones, before discovering Dreamweaver 3, and he's stayed with
Dreamweaver ever since. He believes MX 2004 is the best yet, and might be persuaded
to say it's finally WYSIWYG if he didn't spend so much time buried in Code view.
David started creating dynamic websites with ASP and is thankful that unlike
Cleopatra, he managed to survive before discovering PHP. When not developing
websites, he spends his time writing about Japan, translating Japanese (he's
translated several plays), and savoring the delights of raw fish and sake.
