About the Author
About the Authors David and Rhonda Crowder have been selling hypertext systems since the days when you had to explain what hypertext meant. They have been involved in the online community for over a decade, and David was sysop for the FidoNet BBS, Taliesin's Dream. They hypertexted the Dade County (Miami) version of the South Florida Building Code in the wake of Hurricane Andrew as an independent venture and were commissioned to do the Broward County (Fort Lauderdale) version afterward. They run Far Horizons Software, a Web site design firm, and created the LinkFinder and NetWelcome sites. LinkFinder holds a four-star rating from NetGuide magazine and NetWelcome is the recipient of several awards, including NetGuide's Gold Site Award. David founded three Internet mailing lists: Delphi Talk (for Borland Delphi programmers), JavaScript Talk (for Web designers), and Java Talk (for Java programmers). The Crowders' book credits include FrontPage 98 Unleashed, HTML 4.0 Unleashed Professional Reference Edition, and Dynamic Web Publishing Unleashed.
