About the Authors
Kevin Williams
Kevin's first experience with computers was at the age of 10 (in 1980) when he took a BASIC class at a
local community college on their PDP-9, and by the time he was 12, he stayed up for four days straight
hand-assembling 6502 code on his Atari 400. His professional career has been focussed on Windows
development – first client-server, then onto Internet work. He's done a little bit of everything, from VB
to Powerbuilder to Delphi to C/C++ to MASM to ISAPI, CGI, ASP, HTML, XML, and any other
acronym you might care to name; but these days, he's focusing on XML work. Kevin is currently
working with the Mortgage Bankers' Association of America to help them put together an XML standard
for the mortgage industry.
Michael Brundage
Michael Brundage works as a software developer on Microsoft's WebData Internet team, where he
develops XML features for SQL Server 2000. Michael participates actively in the design of the XML
Query Language, producing Microsoft's prototype for the W3C Working Group. Before Microsoft,
Michael was the Senior Software Engineer for NASA's Interferometry Science Center at Caltech, where
he developed networked collaborative environments and a simulation of radiative transfer.
Michael would like to thank his wife Yvonne for her patience; Dave Van Buren, friend and mentor, for
starting it all; Microsoft for allowing him to write; Chris Suver and Paul Cotton for reviewing early
drafts; and everyone at Wrox Press for their help, humor, and flexibility.
Patrick Dengler
Patrick is busily growing Internet startups throughout the "Silicon Forest" area. His interests include
building companies by creating frameworks for Internet architectures. He has received several patents in
stateless Internet database architectures.
I want to thank my lovely, graceful and beautiful wife Kelly for simply putting up with me.
Without her and my family, Devin, Casey, and Dexter, I wouldn't be whole.
Jeff Gabriel
Jeff Gabriel currently works as a developer for eNationwide, the e-commerce arm of Nationwide
Insurance Systems. Jeff is an MCSE, and was formerly a Webmaster before finding the call to be true
geek too strong. He enjoys spending time with his wife Meredith and two children; Max and
Lily. He also likes to read books about technology and computers when not working on same."
Thanks to my family for understanding the long hours it took to write for this book, and my great
desire to do it. I also thank God, who has answered my prayers with many great opportunities.
Finally, thanks to the guys at ATGI Inc. Thanks to Matt for your excellent direction and support
over the years, and to Jason, an incomparable source for all things Java.
