About the Author
Richard Reese is an Associate Professor for Computer Science at Tarleton State
University in Stephenville, Texas.Previously, he has worked in the Aerospace and Telephony industries for over 17 years. He earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Texas A&M University and served 4 years in the Air Force primarily in the field of Communication Intelligence. Outside the classroom, he enjoys tending his vegetable garden, maintaining his aquariums and greenhouse, and playing with his dog, Zoey. He also enjoysreading a variety of technical and non-technical material. Richard has written numerous publications and wrote EJB 3.1 Cookbook and the Java 7 New Features Cookbook for Packt Publishing. No book can be written without the help of others. To this end I am thankful for the support of Karla, my wife, whose patience and reviews have made this effort possible. In addition, I would like to thank the editorialstaff of Packt and the reviewers for their input which has resulted in a much better book than it might otherwise have been.

About the Reviewers
through LOGO on an Apple ][ and "The Oregon Trail" on a VAX. Pursuing his interest in computers, Ed graduated from Bucknell University with a degree in Computer Engineering. At his first job he quickly realized he didn't know everything that therewas to know about Computer Programming. Ed has spent the past 20 years honing his skills in the securities trading, telecommunications, payroll processing, and machine-to-machine communications industries as a Developer, Team Lead, Consultant, and Mentor. Currently working on Enterprise Development in Java EE, Ed feels that any day spent writing code is a good day. Away from the keyboard, Ed enjoysroad trips with his wife and three children, and playing Ultimate Frisbee and Xbox. He also volunteers as his sons' scout leader and on committees at his church.
