Acknowledgments


Writing a book is always a monumental effort, and rewriting doesn't seem to be much easier, especially with such a rapid rate of change in Java technology. Making a book a reality takes many dedicated people, and it is my great pleasure to acknowledge the contributions of the entire Core Java team.

Our long-suffering editor Greg Doench of Prentice Hall PTR once again did a great job, coordinating all aspects of this complex project. Mary Lou Nohr copyedited the manuscript, with an excellent eye for consistency and always on the lookout for Teutonic constructions and violations of the Java trademark rules. Vanessa Moore once again did a wonderful job with the book production. A number of other individuals at Prentice Hall PTR and Sun Microsystems Press also provided valuable assistance, but they managed to stay behind the scenes. I'd like them all to know how much I appreciate their efforts. My thanks also go to my coauthor of earlier editions, Gary Cornell, who has since moved on to other ventures.

I am very grateful to the excellent reviewing team who found many embarrassing errors and made lots of thoughtful suggestions for improvement. This edition was reviewed by Chuck Allison (Contributing Editor, C/C++ Users Journal), Cliff Berg (iSavvix Corporation), Frank Cohen (PushToTest), Brian Goetz (Principal Consultant, Quiotix Corp.), Rob Gordon, John Gray (University of Hartford), Dan Harkey (San Jose State University), William Higgins (IBM), Angelika Langer, Mark Lawrence, Bob Lynch (Lynch Associates), Philip Milne (consultant), Hao Pham, Stephen Stelting (Sun Microsystems), Kim Topley (author of Core JFC), and Paul Tyma (consultant). Thank you very much for your generous help!
