Jeff did a demo of GWT at the <a href="http://dlslug.org/pipermail/dlslug-announce/2006-September/000060.html">September 2006 DLSLUG Meeting</a>.</p> <p>Jeff is a really smart dude, which he proved to me when he worked as an intern under me at PreviousJob™ where we did some work playing with <a href="http://www.mvps.org/directx/articles/catmull/">Catmull-Rom splines</a> for fitting endovascular grafts into abdominal aortic aneurysms. I was able to say, &#8220;hey, this looks like a good use for Catmull-Rom splines,&#8221; and Jeff could go off and learn all the math and implement it. Good intern! So, Jeff was an easy hire once he was graduated. Any book he&#8217;s written is bound to be fantastic.</p> <p>He&#8217;s now the CEO of <a href="http://www.myhippocampus.com/site/tour.html">MyHippocampus.com</a>, which I barely understand. :)</p> <p>Congrats, Jeff!</p> Thu, 08 May 2008 22:57:00 -0400 urn:uuid:a56245aa-52b9-4203-adea-4f85761f5ce2 Bill McGonigle http://blog.bfccomputing.com/articles/2008/05/08/jeff-dwyer-publishes-web-2-0-application-development-with-gwt Web Development Internet Open Source Local http://blog.bfccomputing.com/articles/trackback/4750
