About the Author

Hayati Hashim , graduated from the Queensland University, Australia and later pursued her Masters Degree in Multimedia majoring in e-Learning technologies from Multimedia University, Malaysia. Her latest field of interest is related to mobile learning and applications. She currently manages a multimedia company, Pixel Bytes Sdn Bhd, which offers video, web and multimedia services. She works mostly on open source platforms and has trained students in multimedia, web design, development, e-learning, and e-commerce projects. She loves science fiction movies, reading, painting, photography, travelling, and especially enjoys playing online games, although she hardly gets her hands on them, as this is the way she finds inspiration. This is her first book.

Throughout the progress of writing this book, I have also learned and been assisted by many individuals who deserved special acknowledgements. It is an impossible effort without the tremendous support of the Packt editorial team. There are times when I got swamped with other commitments, work, and family matters, but all of you have certainly kept me motivated to complete it.

I would also like to thank the reviewers (Adrian and Bart) for their constructive feedback throughout the review process. This book would never have been the same if it wasn’t for your invaluable feedback and comments.

Special thanks to my beloved husband and son, who supported me all the way and continuously inspired me in my pursuit. This is also to my beloved mother and in the memory of my late father.
