JBoss Administration and Development - Couverture souple

Scott Stark, Ph.D., was born in Washington State in 1964. He started out as a chemical engineer, graduated with a B.S. from the University of Washington, and later received a Ph.D. from the University of Delaware. While in Delaware it became apparent to him that computers and programming were to be his passion, and so he made the study of applying massively parallel computers to difficult chemical engineering problems the subject of his Ph.D. research. It has been all about distributed programming ever since. Scott currently serves as the Chief Technology Officer of the JBoss Group, LLC.

Marc Fleury, Ph.D., was born in Paris in 1968. Marc started in Sales at Sun Microsystems France. A graduate of the Ecole Polytechnique, France's top engineering school, and an ex-Lieutenant in the paratroopers, he has a master in Theoretical Physics from the ENS ULM and a Ph.D. in Physics for work he did as a visiting scientist at MIT (X-Ray Lasers). Marc currently serves as the President of the JBoss Group, LLC, an elite services company based out of Atlanta, GA.

JBoss is an Open Source, standards-compliant, J2EE application server implemented in 100% Pure Java. The JBoss/Server and complement of products are delivered under a public license. With 50,000+ downloads per month, JBoss is arguably the most downloaded J2EE based server in the industry.

The Official JBoss Development and Administration Guide offers a single source for information about deploying, administering, and extending JBoss. The book provides up-close and in-depth information both about the intricacies of JBoss and the best practices of J2EE development. The reader will be able, though this book, to install JBoss and develop J2EE applications as well as extending and enhancing JBoss itself--a primary benefit of the open-source nature of the JBoss product.
