The Twisted Mind Behind All This

Solveig Haugland is an independent technical trainer, course developer, and book author (see www.getopenoffice.org and her "OpenOffice.org Resource Kit" on Amazon.com).

She's also the editor and desktop publisher for Applied Java Patterns and the second edition of Core J2EE Patterns. She also did some reviewing of Head First EJB which is how she got the idea for container-managed relationships.

Sometimes her ideas get up in the middle of the night and sneak into each other's rooms, partying all night, and waking up tired but with a smile on their faces and with new little ideas lying beside them wrapped in swaddling Post-Its. That's the most likely explanation for Dating Design Patterns. She has also implemented Encapsulated Big Fat Opening very successfully and is an expert dating architect.

When Solveig isn't publishing silly books, she's watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and implementing Fifth Position Break. She believes very strongly in the effectiveness of all patterns in "Dating Design Patterns" and it was in fact a friend's airplane mechanic who swears blind that Disinterested Requester works really, really well.
