Acknowledgments

First of all, I would like to thank Cliff Colby of Peachpit Press for agreeing to put my pitch for this book into print, and for showing me that California red wine can be pretty good.

A huge thank you to Nancy Peterson for guiding me through the process of creating this book, for her patience, and for keeping the project moving forward.

To Bob Lindstrom, a big thanks for helping me finalize the direction of the book, and taking my words and thoughts and making them better!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the hard working people at Apple. Without them, none of this would be possible. Thank you and, as we say in New Zealand, “Kia Kaha.”

To Shaun Austin—my old sparring partner from England—cheers, mate. I introduced him to the brilliance of Flight of the Conchords, and he returned the favor by being an excellent technical editor.
