Acknowledgments

I'd like to express my gratitude to the entire team at Apress, especially Jonathan Gennick, my fabulous editor, and Jennifer Blackwell, my wonderful project manager. They made it feel like the book was almost writing itself! OK, that's a lie, but really, they made the experience of producing The Definitive Guide to SQLite an enjoyable and rewarding one.

I'd also like to pass on a huge thank you to D. Richard Hipp. Not only do we have Richard to thank for the wonderful creation that is SQLite, but he also graciously offered to be my technical reviewer and was gentle with his comments and criticisms. He taught me a great deal about the latest and greatest features of SQLite, and I hope I've done him justice in bringing those topics to life in this book.

Lastly, a big thanks to all my friends and family, who put up with me writing yet another book, as well as the crazy antics that go with it.
