About Tom Museth
Tom Museth first fell in love with code while creating scrolling
adventure games in BASIC on his Commodore 64, and usability testing them
on reluctant family members. He then spent 16 years as a journalist and
production editor before deciding web development would be more
rewarding. He has a passion for jQuery, PHP, HTML5, and CSS3, is eagerly
eyeing the world of mobile dev, and likes to de-stress via a book, a
beach, and a fishing rod.
