About the Author

Martin Brampton , an internationally known IT Industry Analyst, has an

unrivalled grasp of the complexities of modern day system architectures built on

both research and practical experiences. Martin's knowledge of the importance

of scalable frameworks is founded on the early days of his career. After studying

mathematics at Cambridge University, he built major software systems in both

inancial and technical application areas. Several of his systems were acclaimed as

"legendary" in their reliability—some of which are still in use today.

After a decade of heading IT for an accountancy irm, a few years as a director

of a leading analyst irm, and an MA degree in Modern European Philosophy,

Martin inally returned to his interest in software, but this time transformed into

web applications. He found PHP5, which its well with his prejudice in favor of

programming languages that are interpreted and strongly object oriented.

Utilizing PHP, Martin took on development of useful extensions for the Mambo (and

now also Joomla!) systems, then became a team leader for developing Mambo itself.

More recently, he has written a complete new generation CMS named Aliro, many

aspects of which are described in this book. He has also created a common API to

enable extensions to be written with a single code base for Aliro, Joomla (1.0 and 1.5)

and Mambo ( http://www.acmsapi.org ).

All in all, Martin is now interested in too many things and consequently has little

spare time. But his focus is on object oriented software with a web slant, much of

which is open-source. He runs Black Sheep Research, which provides software,

speaking and writing services, including "The Brampton Factor", a monthly column

for silicon.com ( http://silicon.com/comment/martinbrampton ) where he is

politely described as a veteran analyst.
