Emma Jane Hogbin

Emma Jane Hogbin teaches designers how to make Drupal as beautiful as their imagination. Emma's first book, Front End Drupal, is recognized in the industry as the most important book for Drupal designers. She has been teaching internet technologies since 2002 and has been building Web sites for over ten years. She is a frequent speaker at technical conferences in Canada, the US and Europe and she also likes single malt whiskey. These two things are probably not related.

Emma is a highly sought-after speaker and trainer. Her presentations have taken her to France, Belgium, Hungary, Canada, New Zealand, England and the United States. In addition to her engaging conference presentations, Emma has also worked as a technical college instructor at Humber College and Seneca College, and has worked on curriculum development for Humber College and the Ubuntu Linux distribution.

Emma encourages non-traditional participation in technology through craft and believes that everyone is capable of mastering the tools that surround them. To help engage new ways of participating in technology, she open sourced one of her knitting patterns so that you can make your very own Drupal Socks (as featured in CRAFTzine).
