Joe Burns

Dr. Joe Burns is a professor of communications and the sole creator of the popular HTML Goodies Web site. He has been creating Web sites since the first version of Mosaic was released. Joe gets constant questions and feedback from his audience (over 150 e-mails a day!), and has used these insights to create better and better Web tutorials. Through HTML Goodies, he has taught hundreds of thousands of people how to build Web sites. His first book, HTML Goodies, has been very well received.

Joe Burns, Ph.D., grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and still believes that someday the Indians will win the Series. Joe has made his living as a morning disc jockey, guitar instructor, Web designer, and finally as a university professor after receiving his Ph.D. from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Burns ran HTML Goodies (http://www.htmlgoodies.com) for almost eight years before walking away at the end of 2001. The site is still posted, but Joe has moved on to concentrate his efforts on teaching and writing. He currently lives in Hammond, Louisiana, with his wife Tammy and cats Chloe and Mardi. Weekdays are spent teaching undergraduate and graduate Communications and Web design classes at Southeastern Louisiana University. Weekends are spent either in the French Quarter or on his 24-foot cabin cruiser, Goodies.
