Kirupa Chinnathambi has spent most of his life trying to teach others to love web development as much as he does.
In 1999, before blogging was even a word, he started posting tutorials on kirupa.com. In the years since then, he has written hundreds of articles, written a few books (none as good as the one he hopes to write for O’Reilly), recorded a bunch of videos you can find on YouTube, and even worked for a long time on helping improve the state of HTML tooling at Microsoft. When he isn't writing or talking about web development, he is probably sleeping...or writing about himself in 3rd person.
