Brian McCallister presently works for the Fort Hill Company in Montchanin, DE, splitting his time between Java development and systems administration. He started using Java in 1995, but only escaped the C++ and Perl world professionally in the last four years (having thrown up his hands at it and gone into writing and teaching for a few years in the interim). He is a committer on the Apache OJB project and is presently working on implementing an OJB-native JDO interface therein.
Thomas Risberg currently works for TargetRx, Inc. in Horsham, PA as Manager of Database Development. He has been programming database applications for the last 25 years using a wide variety of languages and databases on mainframes and smaller systems. He has been a developer on the Spring Framework Project since February 2003, primarily contributing to enhance the JDBC functionality.
