Jose Argudo is a web developer from Valencia, Spain. After finishing his studies he started working for a web design company. Then, six years later, he decided to start working as a freelancer.

Now that some years have passed, he thinks it's the best decision he has ever taken, a decision that let him work with the tools he likes, such as Joomla!, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, jQuery, and other known open source technologies.

His desire to learn and share his knowledge has led him to be a regular reviewer of books from Packt, such as Joomla! With Flash (http://www.packtpub.com/joomla-with-flash/book), Joomla! 1.5 SEO (http://www.packtpub.com/joomla-1-5-search-engine-optimization-seo/book), Magento 1.3 Theme Design ( http://www.packtpub.com/magento-1-3-theme-design/book), or Symfony 1.3 web application development (http://www.packtpub.com/symfony-1-3-web-application-development/book).

Recently he has even published his own book, CodeIgniter 1.7, which you can also find at Packt's site (http://www.packtpub.com/improve-coding-productivity-with-codeigniter-1-7/book). If you work with PHP... take a look at it!
