Recommendations (6)

"Ted is simply the best mentor that a developer/team could have. Before I left the Oklahoma State] DEQ I hired Ted to build our skills with Struts. Within 3 months he had completely changed my way of thinking when approaching projects, team members, management, and even dealing with "problem" team members. I value his strengths to motivate, encourage, and simply get excited about software development. Ted is the real deal...” (Rance Shields, Partner at Infoverse).

"As a Java professional and enthusiast, it is a pleasure to have the opportunity to endorse Ted Husted. I was introduced to Ted's work by a Java guru in my organization who described his book "Struts in Action" as the definitive guide to Struts development. Four years later it still holds a prominent place on my desktop. In addition to Ted's published writings, he is highly prolific contributor of best practice, pattern driven, development artifacts most notably to the Apache Software Foundation. As a trainer and mentor, Ted imparts his deep technical expertise coupled with practical 'on the ground' enterprise experience. Concepts are constantly reinforced by their design pattern/best practice origins. As a presenter Ted's is highly affable. He places his mentees at ease and ensures comprehension. Ted Husted is an asset to the entire Java community, as well as any party fortunate enough to engage his services." (Jeff Cullaton, Sanofi-Aventis).

"Ted is a great educator and very helpful in explaining concepts related to Struts 2 as well as other technologies that integrate with Struts 2." (Nate Sarr, Rochester Institute of Technology).

“Ted has been a huge benefit to the Apache community. His excellent work on Struts (including his authorship of the authoritative book on the subject) have benefited countless programmers. Ted is also a great team player and has a very diplomatic approach to team programming. He has been building consensus and helping to settle disputes at Apache for as long as I have been around. You'd be hard pressed to find a smarter programmer then Ted and even harder pressed to find a better person to work with.” (Sean Scofield, CEO,  Rails Dog LC)

"Ted is known as one of the earliest contributors to Apache Struts and other popular open source project. His technical contributions and “tech” support for “noobs” helped make them popular. Even if you have not been lucky enough to have met him in person, as I have, you can almost feel his personable presence online. A true natural leader, he can be both technical and humble at the same time. He does not need any endorsement, including this highest recommendation from me, for he is well known for both technical and personal skills." (Vic Cekvenich, CTO, baseBeans Engineering).

"We hired Ted to teach the Struts 2.0 "Mailreader" Training course. Ted has expert level knowledge of Struts 2.0, unit testing and web development." (Matt Luce, Wells Fargo).

"Ted is a highly skilled web application architect with a keen grasp of development processes. His personal discipline makes him extremely reliable and yields outstanding results, especially in the oft-overlooked area of documentation. Ted's ability to visualize design patterns is remarkable and results in applications that are flexible and easily maintained. Ted is well-versed in both Java and C# technologies as well as the emerging field of client-side (Javascript) architectures. Ted is certainly at home in a production environment, but excels as a mentor to individuals and large development teams alike." (Steve Webb, Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality).
