ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Valerie QuerciaValerie Quercia is a writer for O'Reilly & Associates. Val and Tim O'Reilly have coauthored several editions of the X Window System User's Guide. She is also coauthor of X User Tools, with Linda Mui, who happens to be the editor of WebMaster in a Nutshell. Once unfairly labeled Madame X, Ms. Quercia is now writing about the World Wide Web, and, occasionally, about baseball. Val has been a Red Sox fan since her grandmother taught her what a grand slam was in 1967. Despite a suspiciously yellowing high school diploma, Val insists she was an embryo at the time.
