| Thanks to my editor, Andy Oram, who struggled alongside me through some difficult challenges of structure and design. This book wouldn't have been nearly as clear and readable without Andy's insights and patient influence. Thanks also to Margot Maley of Waterside Productions, Inc., who brought this authorship opportunity to my attention. Several reviewers, some working for O'Reilly Media and some working elsewhere, commented on the manuscript and suggested helpful corrections and improvements. In particular, I'd like to thank the following people for taking time to review this book: Dr. Steve Beatty, Joshua Brindle, David Castro, and George Chamales. I greatly appreciate their assistance and readily confess that any errors in the manuscript were added by me after their reviews, and so are entirely my responsibility. My family ”Jennifer, Patrick, and Sara ”provided their customary compassion and assistance during this latest authorship experience. Thanks, guys! I also acknowledge the faithfulness of my savior, Jesus Christ. His perfect love is entirely undeserved . |
