Acknowledgments

From Jesse Liberty

I am particularly grateful to John Osborn who has shepherded all my work through O'Reilly, and to Brian MacDonald who is an extraordinary editor. I would like to thank Jason Alexander, Ron Buckton, and David Mercer, who were among the best technical editors I've ever worked with.

Kevin Shafer, Ron Petrusha, Claire Cloutier, and Tatiana Diaz helped make this book better than what we'd written. Rob Romano created a number of the illustrations and improved the others. Kevin Shafer of Kevin Shafer and Associates coordinated our preproduction work.

From Dan Hurwitz

In addition to the people mentioned by Jesse, as always I especially want to thank my wife and family for being so supportive of this project and making it possible.
