Alex Libby holds a Master's degree in e-commerce from Coventry University, and currently works as a SharePoint Technical Analyst for a well-known parts distributor based in the UK. Prior to this, he spent a number of years in IT Support, working in the banking, health, and defense publishing industries.

Alex has been working with video hosting over the last 2-3 years, and currently maintains a video communications channel as part of his work in SharePoint, which is used to convey information to 5000 colleagues, in 26 different countries around the world. He enjoys the challenge of video hosting, to ensure content is made accessible across a number of different platforms, while managing the technical constraints of hosting on a corporate network. Alex has also written a separate book for Packt on the jQuery Tools UI Library—this is (indirectly) used within this book.
