<p>I've been involved with servlet and JSP technology since around
1998. It started out that I needed a way to build some web applications for several
projects, and liked Java a lot better than the alternatives. I also liked the price
tag of open source software, and started using Apache JServ -- later, getting involved
in the project (like many people, I was whining about the twelve months it took to get
from version 0.9 to version 1.0, and my son said "Dad, you know Java -- go help them
finish it!" -- so I did :-).</p>

<p>I figured out I was getting pretty old when I realized that 2000 was
the 25th year I had been paid to work in some aspect of software development :-). I've
got a son who is a full-time software developer (primarily in PHP so far, but I'm
going to corrupt him with Java eventually :-), and a daughter in college. I'll happily
let the other committers speak for themselves.</p>

<p>I'm currently a student of computer science at Drexel University in
Philadelphia, PA. I've been working at HP Middleware, formerly Bluestone Software for
3 years programming in Java and recently J2EE technologies. I'm a full time worker
from September until April and a student and part time worker from April until August.
In my spare time I've been known to run monkey-knife fights in a shady south philly
warehouse. Err... I mean... nothing.</p>

- <p>My primary interest in Struts is to put it to work writing lots of
real-life Web applications:-) To do that effectively means having good documentation
and code samples at my fingertips, so that's been my focus with the Struts product so
far.</p>
-
- <p>I've been writing software for hire since 1984, but only recently
jumped the Java bandwagon. My initial interest was with electronic publishing, and
started by converting my various print projects to electronic media. The "Information
Superhighway" was still the private stomping ground of Universities and government
agencies then. The rest of us had to make do with diskettes and bulletin boards.</p>
-
- <p>Between 1985 and 1994, I created and marketed several software
products for publishing disk, the most popular being "Dart" and "Iris". In 1992, Dart
was awarded the Digital Quill for software excellence, featured in PC Magazine
(February 1992), and bundled with McGraw Hill's bookset,"Paperless Publishing" by
Colin Hayes (McGraw Hill 1994). Dart won a second Digital Quill in 1993. Several
titles that used Iris for a publishing system have also won awards and been widely
distributed, including "Hermitville USA." I was also fortunate to find kindred souls
CompuServe and America Online, who helped me pioneer resources areas there in 1993 and
1994 for the nascent electronic publishing industry.</p>
-
- <p>I finally cut loose the Internet in 1995, launching Epub News, an
electronic newspage about electronic publishing. After taking several private
contracts, I opened the Husted dot Com Website (www.husted.com) in 1996. I've drifted
away from electronic books, but have noticed that several products are now making
their way into the consumer mainstream -- as usual, I was twenty minutes into the
future:-)</p>
-
- <p>My favorite all-time project is the Hitchhikers Guide to Science
Fiction. This was one of my earliest hypertext projects (it started as a print-book
idea), and I had a lot of fun bringing it forward onto the Web. (Now, if I only had
time to bring it current and dress it up!)</p>

<p>As a dreamer / researcher I have thought a lot about a framework
like Struts. But, as a lazy developer I have first checked what already exists, and I
have found Struts. Struts goals fulfilled nearly all I needed for my (now old) portal
project, except the capability to reuse and assemble easily pieces of pages or
components. So, I have proposed the Components framework. This framework can seen as a
superset of the Templates tag library contributed by David Geary, and contains lot of
interesting features.</p>
<p>From a professional point of view, I have a Ph.D. in computer
science. I have worked for 3 years in the R&D department of a worldwide company
developing Internet banking solutions. I am now a researcher at a university, and work
European research projects. My main research interest is WWW, Distributed Systems and
Object Oriented Design. When developing code, I always try to first propose reusable
pieces of code.</p>

<p>As I worked web based projects I started looking for something that
would really help save time during development. I ran across Struts in the Summer of
2000 and decided it was a good solution for web development. As I used Struts it
really helped to remove a lot of the repetitive work, but validation still seemed very
repetitive. I had an idea to create validation rules in an xml file and have them
easily integrated with Struts. It started out simple and continued to develop over
time. The validation project was eventually incorporated into Struts and the core was
moved to Jakarta Commons. I'm happy to see Struts continue to grow and develop.</p>
<p>I currently am employed at Forbes.com. I occasionally get to do some
internal projects using Struts. The last interesting project was a publishing system
using Message Driven EJBs in JBoss and Struts was used to display the status of each
publishing process.</p>

<p>I have gone from Unix -to- Windows -to- Unix based development about
ever 6 years now. When moving to Windows I was amazed at how primitive the OS was
compared to Unix. While developing for Win32 I had the pleasure of discovering Delphi
and developed many GUI/databases, telephony, Internet enabled applications. I remain
impressed with its design. Delphi, always enabled development of a simple elegant
solution, much like the language itself. I was convinced after 10 years of development
with C/C++ that it was a kinder gentler language.</p>

<p>I, like many others, discovered Struts when contemplating writing my
own MVC Java framework for the web. Struts had everything I needed and more so I
scrapped plans for my own and joined the mailing lists. After playing with it for
several months I started submitting documentation and a few source patches. I'm
excited about helping Struts evolve and am continually amazed by the framework and the
community surrounding it.</p>

<p>I discovered Struts somewhat by accident. In 2001 I began writing a
book for SAMS on JSP web development (MySQL and JSP Web Development), and as part of
it, I decided to write a chapter on Struts in the advanced section. In the process of
learning enough about Struts to write about it, I realized that it could simplify some
of the projects that I was working on for clients.</p>
