Beginning Hibernate

Dave Minter has adored computers since he was small enough to play in the boxes they came in. He built his first PC from discarded, faulty, and obsolete components, and considers that to be the foundation of his career as an integration consultant. David is based in London, UK, where he helps large and small companies build systems that "just work." Dave also co-authored Pro Hibernate 3 and Building Portals with the Java Portlet API. Jeff Linwood has been in software programming since he had a 286 in high school. He got caught up with the Internet when he got access to a UNIX shell account, and it has been downhill ever since. Jeff has published articles on several Jakarta Apache open source projects in Dr. Dobb's Journal, CNET's Builder.com, and JavaWorld. Jeff has a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. He currently works for the Gossamer Group in Austin, Texas, on content management and web application syndication systems. He gets to play with all the latest open source projects there. Jeff also coauthored Pro Hibernate 3, Building Portals with the Java Portlet API and Professional Struts Applications. He was a technical reviewer for Enterprise Java Development on a Budget and Extreme Programming with Ant.
