About the Author Vernon Denny was born and bred in a small city called Klerksdorp in the north-west of South Africa. Vernon now lives in Johannesburg with his wife, daughter, and supercilious cat. Despite standing two meters tall in his thinnest socks he has a nervous apprehension of heights. After explaining the vagaries of the insurance industry to an IBM iSeries computer in RPG and PHP during the typical working day, he loves to help out on the Webform issue queue on the Drupal website. In between all of this, he also keeps himself busy learning about the GNU/ Linux operating system and the freedoms arising from the Free and Open Source Software movement. When a computer keyboard is out of reach, Vernon is either playing games with his daughter, hiking with the family, or irritating them with his attempts to learn the guitar. A massive thank you to Nathan Haug (also known as quicksketch) for making the Webform module what it is today. I do not know how you make the time, but like many others around the world, I am very, very grateful. Dries Buytaert and the entire active Drupal community of coders, testers, maintainers, and users are lauded for their commitment to putting Drupal out there and maintaining its position as a high-quality, stable, and leadingedge web content management system. Words cannot possibly express the depth of my gratitude to Sai Gamare, Dayan Hyames and Usha Iyer of Packt Publishing for their patient insistence that deadlines should be met. It was rough going for a while, but you guys really helped me see it through in the end!
