Rick has spoken at a variety of industry conferences and events, including JavaOne, TheServerSide.com Software Symposium JDJEdge, WebServicesEdge, and the Complete Programmer Network software symposiums.
Warner Onstine is a founder and CTO of Interface Guru, a
leading Web Usability firm where he consults on back-end technology
issues with specific emphasis on how technology and usability work
together to present the user with an easy-to-use interface. Warner
also runs his own custom development shop, Sandcast Software, which
focuses on community and team-oriented software.
Warner got his first computer, a TI-99 4/A, when he was 9 and
almost immediately attempted to program a game in Basic on it,
which did not work. He stubbornly refuses to get rid of that
machine though, along with his trusty NeXT Turbo MonoStation, upon
which he got his first taste of Objective-C. This eventually led to
Java, skipping right over C++.
His strong community background soon led him to open source, where
he has had the chance to meet and interact with several incredible
individuals from Jakarta and other open source communities. This
also has helped him to keep an open eye on the trends that will
soon shape the new landscape—one of his specialties.
Another skill he has is in assisting companies with making the
right choices at the right time, utilizing XP, in-depth knowledge
of their subject area, and the currently available tools germane to
their problem. Warner is also a co-founder and President of the
Tucson Java Users Group, which he helped form in 2001, which keeps
him rather busy at times. Previously, Warner worked at eBlox, Inc.
(a Web development company), Intalio, Inc. (a bay-area Business
Process Management Server company), and the University of Arizona
Main Library on the Digital Library Team.
Paul Visan is an expert J2EE developer. He serves as a Principal Software Engineer for eBlox, Inc, where he finds that open source tools are invaluable to his work. Paul is a proud Romanian native, now living in the heart of Tucson Arizona. He is a regular contributor to IBM’s developerWorks, for which he has written a series of tutorials on Java Web Services. Paul would like to thank Andrew Barton, Nicholas Lesiecki, Tim Ryan, and Victoria McSherry for helping with this book.

Kate Rhodes is a self-taught programmer, serial
entrepreneur, and occasional musician with a Japanese nickname and
an unstoppable urge to learn new things, solve new problems, and
write open source apps. She’s got too many pets, too many
projects, and too little time. If she could afford an army of
programming minions she’d have one.
She’s ranked better than most and worse than some.
She’s worked in impressive places you’ve possibly heard
of and unimpressive places you’ve never heard of. She’s
done some stuff she’s very proud of and some she isn’t.
And so long as life keeps offering up interesting new challenges
for her to learn from, she’s happy. If you’re overcome
with curiosity you can always see what Kate and her wife are up to
at www.masukomi.org.
Robert Watkins is a Brisbane, Australia-based software developer of nine years’ experience. He’s been called a programmer, a software engineer, an architect, and a few other things (many unprintable), but mostly ignores the titles and does what he has to do. These days he is mostly working in J2EE and related technologies, and is a passionate advocate of agile development techniques. When not working, he spends most of his time with his wife and twin children, and when he gets a chance, he takes time out to read Terry Pratchett novels. Robert is also one of the developers on the CruiseControl project.
Erik Meade is an employee of Wells Fargo, who attended XPImmersionTwo, interviewed at XPImmersionThree, coached at XPImmersionFour, and hung out on the evenings of XPImmersionFive. He is the edior of junit.org and an evangelist of JUnit, Ant, CruiseControl, HttpUnit, Tomcat, and open source in general. He is also a contributor to JUnitPerf.
