Acknowledgments

This book, our first, has been one long and hard journey, with us harried authors missing deadlines and so forth. But even with all the hard work, it was great fun and, above all, a great experience working with Sams Publishing. Hence, we take great pleasure to acknowledge the entire team that has worked on this book.

The book kicked off quite unexpectedly when we contacted Todd Green, an acquisitions editor at Sams, to propose writing a book on an entirely different topic. Todd has been wonderful to work with and has patiently walked us through all the phases in writing the book. It is with Todd's help that we were able to interact with BEA and obtain the necessary software, get our queries resolved, and so on.

Tiffany Taylor, our development editor, helped us a lot in coordinating the work on the book, getting the reviews done, rearranging content, and other tasks.

We are also grateful to our technical editors, Michael Abbott, Chuck Cavaness, Steve Heckler, and Anne Horton, for systematically going through the chapters, pointing out errors, and providing valuable suggestions that, we believe, have definitely added value to the book.

We are thankful to Molly Redenbaugh of Publication Services, who was instrumental in showing us what a sample chapter of the book would actually look like, which motivated us to go full steam to complete the final set of chapters in the book.

Our thanks also to Peter Nelson and the rest of the copyeditors, who went through the book with a fine-toothed comb and suggested appropriate word constructions to give the contents a polished feel.

Finally, this book would never have seen the light of the day without so many unnamed people working behind the scenes to make this book a success.

Most importantly, our thanks to our parents and family members for being patient and understanding with us during this wonderful journey.
