about the authors
BEAR BIBEAULT
has been writing software for over
three decades, starting with a Tic-Tac-Toe program
written on a Control Data Cyber supercomputer via
a 100-baud teletype. Because he has two degrees in
Electrical Engineering, Bear should be designing
antennas or something; but, since his first real job
with Digital Equipment Corporation, he has always
been much more fascinated with programming.

Bear has also served stints with companies such
as Lightbridge Inc.,
BMC
Software, Dragon Systems, and even served in the
U. S. Military teaching infantry soldiers how to blow up tanks. (Care to guess
which job was the most fun?) Bear is currently a Software Architect and Tech-
nical Manager for a company that builds and maintains a large financial web
application used by the accountants that many of the Fortune 500 companies
keep in their dungeons.

In addition to his day job, Bear also writes books (duh!), runs a small busi-
ness that creates web applications and offers other media services (but not wed-
ding videography, never wedding videography), and helps to moderate
JavaRanch.com as a "sheriff." When not planted in front of a computer, Bear
likes to cook big food (which accounts for his jeans size), dabble in photogra-
phy and video editing, ride his Yamaha V-Star, and wear tropical print shirts.
