Steve Webster’s Summary

I am currently working as Senior Web Developer on the Front-End Architecture team at Yahoo! in London. In this role I help design and review our global platforms, define standards and best practices for front-end web development, and also design and deliver training courses. I am a BCS-qualified IT trainer, and I am also responsible for designing and building a number of the internal web-based applications, using a mixture of standards and Flash Platform based technologies.

My previous experience as Head of Development at Featurecreep Ltd. allowed me to develop and nuture very good management, people and organisational skills.

I am passionate about web standards, accessibility, usability and *appropriate* use of Flash Platform technologies.

I have written or contributed to around a dozen books on ActionScript, Flash, Flex and PHP development, and occasionally speak on these same topics at web development conferences.
