Summary

This new Hacks book goes well beyond Flickr's defaults and deceptively easy interface to allow everyone, from photo enthusiasts to web developers, to get the most out of this incredibly versatile community and bleeding-edge web technology. Co-authored by the founder of the online Flickr Hacks group, this book offers valuable ways to customise Flickr so that users can have a more fun and satisfying experience, both with this online photo- sharing technology and the incredible community behind it.

Author Biography

Paul Bausch is an independent web developer living in Corvallis, Oregon. When he's not hacking together web applications, he's writing about hacking together web applications. In 2003, he wrote Amazon Hacks for O'Reilly and recently completed the forthcoming Yahoo! Hacks. Paul also helped create the popular weblog application Blogger (http://www.blogger.com) and maintains a directory of Oregon weblogs called ORblogs (http://www.orblogs.com). When he's not working on a book, Paul posts thoughts and photos to his personal weblog onfocus (http://www.onfocus.com).

Jim Bumgardner has been making innovative and entertaining software in Los Angeles since the early 1980s, including The Palace avatar chat system. He is the founder of the Flickr Hacks group, and the creator of the Flickr Colr Pickr, Hipbot and other Flickr-powered applications. Jim works in the Interactive TV industry and teaches kids how to make videogames at Art Center in Pasadena. His personal website, KrazyDad.Com, showcases his more recent software experiments.
