This book would not be possible without the keen eye of our acquisitions editor, Paul Petralia, and Peter Coad. Many thanks go to our development editor, Jim Markham, who has spent many hours refining our manuscript and the delicate procedure of linguistic hygiene. This textbook's author team has benefited from early reviews by very talented visionaries within our profession. Input came from all parts of the world from people with diverse backgrounds: from professionals who work in large enterprises to professors at major institutions of higher learning; from people who believe in heavyweight processes to those who have embraced agile methods; from those whose native tongue is English, to those who speak such joyous languages as Arabic, Chinese, French, Portuguese, and Spanish, as well as others; and from those who are lowly developers to those who are senior executives.
