The animal on the cover of .NET Gotchas is a hammerhead shark. This shark has a wide, thick head, which resembles a hammer. The hammerhead can grow up to 11. 5 feet long and weighs as much as 500 pounds. It is usually brownishgray in color, with an off-white underbelly. The unique shape of this shark's head offers increased bouyancy, which helps the hammerhead swim more effectively. The rounded shape also enhances the shark's vision;its eyes are placed nearly three feet apart apart and offer an extremely wide view.

Hammerheads swim in schools and are found throughout the oceans of the world. They prefer warm tropical waters, however, especially those with a high concentration of foodfish, stingrays, other sharks, squid, octopus, and crustaceans. They are also known to eat their own young, and, on occasion, humans. A highly developed sensor system makes hammerheads extremely effective predators because they can easily detect the weak electrical fields generated by all animals.

Philip Dangler was the production editor and proofreader, and Derek Di Matteo was the copyeditor for .NET Gotchas .Mary Anne Weeks Mayo and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Julie Hawks wrote the index.
