David Powers is the author of a series of highly successful books on PHP, including PHP Solutions: Dynamic Web Design Made Easy (friends of ED, ISBN: 978-1-59059-731-6) and The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP (friends of ED, ISBN: 978-1-59059-859-7). As a professional writer, he has been involved in electronic media for more than 30 years, first with BBC radio and television, both in front of the microphone (he was a BBC correspondent in Tokyo from 1987 to 1992) and in senior editorial positions. His clear writing style is valued not only in the English-speaking world—several of his books have been translated into Spanish and Polish.

Since leaving the BBC to work independently, David has devoted most of his time to web development, writing books, and teaching. He is active in several online forums, giving advice and troubleshooting PHP problems. David’s expertise was recognized by his designation as an Adobe Community Expert in 2006.

When not pounding the keyboard writing books or dreaming of new ways of using PHP and other programming languages, David enjoys nothing better than visiting his favorite sushi restaurant. He has also translated several plays from Japanese.
