The difference between those who can cross the chasm and those who can??™t is drive. You
don??™t need to be a genius, have a brilliant CV, or look good at an interview. Even the ability to
type ???interview questions??? into Google is optional. The people who can cross the chasm are
those with the drive to succeed.
Getting involved can come in many forms, and sometimes it??™s even sort of tangential to
the project itself, such as writing a book about the project. Sometimes the tangential help is
some of the most valuable. The things developers leave out are often things they are bad at.
For years, I??™ve wanted there to be a DWR book but known I??™m the wrong person to write it, so
I??™m particularly pleased to see Frank step forward to write the first DWR book. Thanks for
having the drive to get involved, Frank.

About the Author
nFRANK W. ZAMMETTI is a developer/architect/whatever is called for at any particular moment
in time for a large mutual fund servicing company in the United States by day, and a multiproject
open source contributor by night. And, after three books, he can probably finally say
???author by night??? legitimately too!
Frank has been involved, in one form or another, with computers for 25+ years, which is
about 75 percent of his life thus far (only counting the natural part anyway) and has been programming
right from the start.
