About the Author

Chris Charlton is a Drupal and ActionScript guru who is always caught up with the latest web trends, including Flex, AIR, Flash, and web standards like CSS and XML. He writes articles for DMXzone.com, the largest Dreamweaver/Flash community; produces the Adobe AIR column for Flash & Flex Developer's Magazine; and produced WebDevDesign. Chris still manages to organize the Drupal and AIR user groups in Los Angeles.

Chris tried out many different lines of software before he adopted Drupal. He then went on to develop the first Dreamweaver plug-in for Drupal programmers. Chris co-wrote Advanced Flex Application Development: Building Rich Media X, the first printed book to cover connecting Drupal back ends to Flex/ActionScript front ends, which takes Drupal into the rich internet application realm. If Chris isn't writing or doing community events, he's usually teaching people how to produce current- and next-generation web properties.
