About the Reviewer

Peter De Decker is the author of a MediaWiki extension called IpbWiki which is an integration plugin that integrates the forum software Invision Power Board with the Mediawiki engine with the main purpose of giving the applications a unified look and login. During the ongoing creation of this extension he has become an expert in understanding the MediaWiki source code and layout.

As Peter had previously reviewed the MediaWiki Administrator book it was only logical to also use his MediaWiki expertise for this book on MediaWiki skinning.

During his day job Peter works as a Database Adminstrator for SQL Server in a company called Financial Architects, where he is part of the Core Development team. His main task there is to provide a solid product base which the other teams in the firm can use or expand up on. As a secondary profession, he sells software and services through his company called Global Soft. When he's not working he likes to exercise his hobbies: running, biking, collecting comics, and playing snooker.
