Hibernate的作者Gavin King
Gavin King是Hibernate的作者，EJB3.0专家委员会成员，JBoss核心成员之一。Hibernate诞生在2001年11月，在短短的两年多时间就发展成为Java世界主流的持久层框架软件，令人侧目。Gavin King 1974年出生于澳大利亚，现在居住在澳大利亚默尔本市。
Gavin King is the founder of the Hibernate project. He was born in a country town named Mudgee in 1974 and has never been there since. He is currently based in Melbourne, Australia - the city with the world's highest ratio of restaurants to people. Gavin's interest in persistence was sparked at the age of 11 when his early software development efforts were all destroyed due to the notorious unreliability of the Commodore 64 cassette drive. Gavin studied mathematics at Monash University before deciding to do something useful instead. He now works for JBoss, Inc., developing Hibernate and the new Hibernate-based CMP engine - and hopes he has finally proved his usefulness. He is co-author of the book, Hibernate in Action, to be published by Manning. He is also involved in the EJB3 expert group. Gavin always enjoys writing about himself in the third person.

Born in 1971, Bill fell in love with middleware when he was introduced to DCE while at the parent company of Open Environment Corporation. He later went on to being a core member of the Orbix2000 team at Iona, where he helped them build some of their CORBA products. After weathering a few failed internet startups building J2EE applications, Bill stumbled into JBoss and helped them with their clustering architecture and EJB container. Now, as lead architect of JBoss 4, his main focus is on bringing AOP concepts and technology to the JBoss application server. Bill is co-author of O'Reilly's "JBoss 3.2 Workbook", and has numerous other in-print and on-line publications. He graduated magna cum laude with a B.S.C.S. from Northeastern University in Boston in 1994. In his spare time, now that JBoss is the full-time job, Bill likes to hang with his wonderful wife and is a rabid football fan being a New England Patriots season ticket holder for the past 10 years.
