Roy T. Fielding invented HTTP in the same labs that I learned computer science at the University of California, Irvine. I never met him and never touched the project, yet sitting in those rooms felt like borrowing a bit of his rocket fuel. Roy is a UCI School of ICS Hall of Fame inductee.
Douglas C. Schmidt is a giant in the field of distributed object computing. As an undergrad, I begged and groveled my way into his over-subscribed graduate level class into Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). Doug is also a UCI School of ICS Hall of Fame inductee.
Now, I am one too…
