天天好心情

I originally got involved in creating the JSTL in Action ( JSTL) when Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart at Sun noticed my emails on an Apache Jakarta mailing list and thought I needed something to keep me busy. This wasn’t strictly true—I already had quite enough on my plate—but I soon found myself growing more and more interested in JSP tag libraries and the JSTL effort. Soon, I was spending a good portion of my waking hours on it (and some nonwaking hours, too).

The satisfaction of doing a new edition of a book is in getting things “right,” according to what I have learned since the last edition came out. Often these insights are in the nature of the saying “A learning experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want,” and my opportunity is to fix something embarrassing or simply tedious. Just as often, creating the next edition produces fascinating new ideas, and the embarrassment is far outweighed by the delight of discovery and the ability to express ideas in a better form than what I have previously achieved.
