Sobre o autor
Sporting a Masters in Information Technology and a lifetime of experience on the ‘web of hard knocks’, Earle Castledine (Mr Speaker) holds an interest in everything to do with computers. A Senior Systems Analyst and Java Script expert – he is equally happy in the muddy pits of .NET code as in the fluffy fields of client-side interaction development. Co-creator of the client-side opus Turn Tubelis, Earle recognizes the Internet not as a lubricant for social change, but as a vehicle for unleashing frivolous ECMAScript gadgets and interesting time-wasting technologies.
