About the Technical Reviewer

John Zukowski has been developing software professionally for over 20 years now. He first started programming in BASIC on a Commodore Vic-20, before moving on to a Commodore 64. He's developed with FORTRAN on a VAX/VMS system, in C and C++ on early Sun3/4 Solaris boxes, and, for the past 15 years, with the Java platform on micro-devices, desktops, and servers. John is also the author of ten books related to Java technologies, from his first, Java AWT Reference (O'Reilly, 1997) to his most recent, Java 6 Platform Revealed (Apress, 2006). In his spare time, you may find John enjoying Mob Wars on Facebook or entering contests on Twitter (@JavaJohnZ).
