I am a software engineer at Bazaarvoice, a co-host of the yayQuery podcast, a co-organizer of TXJS, a contributor to the jQuery Cookbook from O’Reilly, and the author of the open-source jQuery Fundamentals training material. I speak on emerging JavaScript topics at numerous conferences, and blog at rmurphey.com. I live in Durham, North Carolina, with my partner, our dog Ellie, and two terrible cats.
