We always value hearing from our readers, and we want to know what you think about this book: what you liked, what you didn’t like, and what you think we can do better next time.

How to Download the Sample Code for the Book

When you visit the Wrox site, www.wrox.com, simply locate the title through our Search facility or by using one of the title lists. Click Download in the Code column or click Download Code on the book’s detail page.

Files available for download from our site have been archived using WinZip. When you have saved the attachments to a folder on your hard drive, extract the files using a decompression program such as WinZip or PKUnzip. When you extract the files, the code is usually extracted into chapter folders. When you start the extraction process, ensure that your software (WinZip, PKUnzip, and so on) is set to use folder names.

Errata

We’ve made every effort to make sure that there are no errors in the text or in the code. However, no one is perfect and mistakes do occur. If you find an error in one of our books, such as a spelling mistake or a faulty piece of code, we would be very grateful for feedback. By sending in errata, you may save another reader hours of frustration, and of course you will be helping us provide even higher quality information. Simply e-mail the information to [e-mail]; your information will be checked and if correct, posted to the errata page for that title, or used in subsequent editions of the book.

To find errata on the website, go to www.wrox.com and simply locate the title through our Advanced Search or title list. Click the Book Errata link, which is below the cover graphic on the book’s detail page.
