It is also the place of origin for Django, the Python-based open-source Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines.
Jeff has been designing and developing web sites nearly as long as there have been web sites to design and develop. He created his first web page in 1994 and got his first web-related job in 1995. He started mostly as a hobbyist with an interest in computers, but has now fully made the transition from computer nerd to designer. Jeff possess many technical skills, but his true passion lies in visual design, user interface, communications, media, and advertising.
Jeff has recently co-authored two books, Pro CSS Techniques, published by Apress, and Web Standards Creativity, published by Friends of ED.
