Beginning JavaServer Pages™

Acknowledgments

Vivek Chopra

I'd like to thank my coauthors and all the folks at Wrox for the effort and the long hours—thank you, Rupert, Sing, Jon, John, Sydney, James, and Bob! I'd especially like to thank my wife, Rebecca, for her patience and support, especially since I spent most weekends working on this book.

Sing Li

Thanks to the virtual Beginning JavaServer Pages team, top professionals from all corners of the globe. It was wonderful working with you throughout 2003 and 2004.

To my wife, Kim—your inspiration and support are the high-octane fuel that keeps me running, looking joyfully forward to each brand new day.

Rupert Jones

First of all, I'd like to thank my coauthors for their dedication to this book. It's not easy holding down a full-time job in this industry and fitting in time for such a venture. I am constantly amazed we all still have friends and family who will talk to us, let alone recognize us. It's been a pleasure undertaking this task with a group of such consummate professionals.

To the Wrox crew—in particular, Sydney Jones, our developmental editor, and our tech reviewers at DreamTech—thanks for all your hard work in getting us across the line. I know its difficult working with technical people at the best of times, especially when they are geographically remote.

Thanks also to my colleagues at Internet Business Systems: Steve Hayes, Rob Mitchell, and Shane Clauson. These guys provided me with much-needed help, advice, and encouragement, even in my grumpier moments. ...
