Vivek Chopra has more than 13 years of experience as a software architect, developer, and team lead and

Sing Li (who was bitten by the microcomputer bug in the late 1970s) has grown up with the Micropro-
cessor Age. His first personal computer was a $99 do-it-yourself Netronics COSMIC ELF with 256 bytes
of memory, mail-ordered from the back pages of Popular Electronics magazine. A 20-year industry vet-
eran, Sing is a system developer, open source software contributor, and freelance writer specializing in
Java technology, and embedded and distributed systems architecture. He regularly writes for several
popular technical journals and e-zines, and is the creator of the “Internet Global Phone,” one of the very
first Internet phones available. He has authored and co-authored a number of books across diverse tech-
nical disciplines including Geronimo, Tomcat, JSP, servlets, XML, Jini, media streaming, device drivers,
