From Bryan Basham

I could start by thanking my Mom, but that’s been done before...My knowledge of Java web development is founded in a few medium-scale applications that I have written, but that foundation was honed and refined by years of debate on a Java instructor email alias internal to Sun. In particular, I would like to thank Steve Stelting, Victor Peters, Lisa Morris, Jean Tordella, Michael Judd, Evan Troyka, and Keith Ratliff. There were many people that carved my knowledge, but these six have been the knives that have cut me the deepest.

As with all book projects, the last three months were pretty difficult. I want to thank my fiance, Kathy Collina, for being patient with me. I want to thank Karma and Kiwi (our cats) for the late night sessions of lap-sitting and keyboard trouncing.
