Acknowledgments

From Jesse Liberty:

John Osborn signed me to O'Reilly, for which I will forever be in his debt. 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. Matthew MacDonald and Daniel Creeron did an excellent technical review of the manuscript.

A special note of thanks to Valerie Quercia, who has done so much and received so little recognition. She is a wonderful person, and I will miss working with her.

From Dan Hurwitz:

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