Hi. I’m Julie. I’m the EVP of Product & Technology at Interfolio, and I used to write introductory-level books on web development (available in 18 languages, from Arabic to Chinese to Polish and just about everything in between). I also did some other things, so says LinkedIn and my Interfolio Portfolio.
I’ve worked in web application development since 1994, and along the way I also warped young minds taught undergraduate courses in composition, technical and professional writing, literature, and digital technology and culture. Once upon a time I wrote some short-form stuff online; you might have seen some of my work in the late 90s version of Wired’s Webmonkey, or within the last few years at The Chronicle of Higher Education‘s ProfHacker blog (here’s a list of the more interesting posts there).
I spend most of my time working, very rarely blogging here and at nerdtripping.com, sometime tweet, and spend some time on the StackExchange network.

Older Books
I’ve written several books over the years and almost all of them are out-of-date. If you find them on shelves (virtual or otherwise), I do not recommend that you purchase them—technology moves quickly and they are unlikely to be of much use. You can still see a list of older books if you’re curious.
