About the Author
Ben Balbo was born in Germany, grew up in the UK, lives in Melbourne, and likes Guinness. While he isn’t drinking Guinness (which is most of the time in Melbourne, as it just doesn’t taste the same), he earns a living as a PHP developer and trainer, security consultant, and Open Source developer. He has been known to talk in public about web development-related topics, which comes as part of the package of being on the committees of both the Melbourne PHP User Group and Open Source Developers’ Club. Although he wouldn’t admit this, he participates at this level only in order to go to restaurants or pubs after the meetings.
