This Spring ('04) I'm scheduled to teach Object
Structures in Groton.
A few bullets about myself:
- I started out as a mechanical
engineer and a Naval Officer
- Since '91, I've been in the
software business, mostly in projects related to some kind of submarine
thing.
- In '97 I steered my career wholly
toward Java at Electric Boat Corp., and have been involved
in everything from Java Rings which run cryptographic algorithms on one's
finger, to 16-chip webservers running J2EE and talking to mainframe DB2 /
Oracle. Probably my favorite assignment is right in the middle
of those extremes: developing client-side applications which do
fairly complex engineering analyses and data exchange with full blown CAD
platforms, saving on iterative design costs.
- Since '00, my group at EB
have been asking how XML might help with all
this good stuff. This has given me a breadth of Apache skills, and I feel comfortable
with stuff like Tomcat, Catalina, JSP Taglib, Xerces, Xalan, Batik/SVG and
Cocoon.
