Michele E. Davis和John A. Phillips 分别是Kraut的Krautgrrl和Krautboy。Phillips拥有计算机科学的背景,在中学时期就开始编程。他的工作涉及多种数据库,包括Oracle、SQL Server以及MySQL。Phillips一直致力于寻求最佳技术(如PHP)来解决现实世界中的计算问题。为Kraut客户研制计算机、排除障碍、设计定制Web解决方案,以及照顾三个活泼可爱的孩子就是他的最大享受。Davis从中学开始就一直热衷于写作,最终成为一名职业作家。她专注于所有形式的科技写作,从市场推广到硬件或软件的用户手册。Davis为ibook、Sybex和Wiley & Sons编著(和合著)了多本书籍,她最善于将非常专业的技术概念转化为易于被客户和读者理解的信息。Davis是Kraut的创意先锋,而Phillips则负责处理后端编码。她热爱阅读、写作,还乐于开车接送孩子们参加体育活动。
Krautgrrl和Krautboy感谢Twin Cities PHP 社区在listserv做出的所有有益评论。
Michele E. Davis and Jon A. Phillips are the Krauts: Krautgrrl and Krautboy, respectively.
Phillips has a background in computer science, having started programming in
grade school. He’s worked with numerous databases, including Oracle, SQL Server,
and MySQL. Phillips is always looking for the best technologies, such as PHP, to
solve real-world computing problems. He enjoys building computers, troubleshooting,
and designing custom web solutions for the Kraut clients and his three
rambunctious children. Davis has been a career writer since grade school and has
focused on all forms of technology writing: from marcom to hardware or software
user manuals. Davis has written (and coauthored) books for ibooks, Sybex, and
Wiley. Her greatest skill is breaking down highly technical concepts into easy-todigest
information bites for her clients and readers. She is the creative edge of Kraut
Companies, while Phillips handles the backend coding. Her hobbies are reading,
writing, and pretending to be a soccer mom.

《学习PHP和MySQL》一书的封面是一种被叫做笑翠鸟的动物。这种会笑的鸟产自澳大利亚东部的林区,它之所以得名是因为它独特的叫声,这种叫声听起来像是在高声大笑,好像这只鸟在说:“koo koo koo ka ka ka”。笑翠鸟通常在黎明和黄昏的时候发出这种叫声,来标识自己的领地。这种叫声也被用来打招呼,如果一群笑翠鸟碰到一起开始“聊天”的话,那将是相当地喧嚣。
通过羽毛也可以很容易地识别笑翠鸟。它的背上是褐色的羽毛,腹部的羽毛则是米色的,它还有一个巨大的、坚硬的、黑色的喙。在它眼睛周围有一个褐色条纹。它的翅膀也是褐色的,并带有少许的蓝色调,尾巴上的羽毛是黑色的。雄性笑翠鸟的尾巴羽毛上有很深的蓝色条纹。笑翠鸟大约有16-17英寸高。它的食物很杂,包括昆虫、蜥蜴、蛇和小型鸟类。如果猎物的个头较小,笑翠鸟会迅速抓住猎物然后整个吞下;如果碰到大的猎物,它会把猎物从高处抛下,或者用猎物撞击树木、岩石或地面,以杀死猎物。笑翠鸟对人类比较友好,也不会因为人类的存在而感到不安。对于它们从人类那偷来的烧烤和其他野餐食物,它们也会在吃之前把食物在树上摔打一通。
笑翠鸟被认为是终身一夫一妻制的。一个有趣的现象是笑翠鸟的子女会留在父母身边比较长的时间,帮助父母抚养弟弟妹妹,协助父母孵蛋和喂食。
