About the authors
Jason Beaird is a left-handed creative thinker, and is art minded. He graduated from UCF with a degree in Graphic Design, and is an artist in his spare time, but also has a technical side. Starting his own BBS in 8th grade, he considered computer science as a possible major, and ended up getting a second degree in digital media from UCF. Fortunately there’s an occupation for people like him in web development and he now works full-time as a designer for Cyberwoven.
