Dan Pilone
is a software architect for Vangent, Inc., and has led teams for the Naval Research Laboratory and NASA, building enterprise software. He's taught graduate and undergraduate Software Engineering at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. Some of his classes were interesting.
Dan started writing for O'Reilly by submitting a proposal for this book a little over 5 years ago. Three UML books, some quality time in Boulder, Colorado with the O'Reilly Head First team, and a coauthor later, he finally got a chance to put Head First Software Development together.
While leading a team of software developers can be challenging, Dan is waiting patiently for someone to write Head First Parenting to help sort out seriously complex management problems.
