Acknowledgments

As with every book, a lot of work from a lot of people went into making it happen.

Our acquisitions editor, Tim Green, kept us on track with kind words and pointy sticks. Always a pleasure working with you, Tim!

Our acquisitions coordinator, Caitlin Cromley-Linn, did an outstanding job acquiring and coordinating, with gentle yet insistent reminders for us to get stuff to her on a timely basis. Likewise, our project manager, Tasneem Kauser at KnowledgeWorks Global Ltd. This was a fun project, and we look forward to the next one!

Bart Reed did great work as our copy editor. He transformed every awkward stumble of language into a grammatical gem.

Our technical editor, Chris Crayton, took what some would describe as gleeful delight in pointing out every technical error he found. But since he helped us fix every error too, we won’t hold it against him. Thanks, once again, for your technical expertise.

The layout team at KnowledgeWorks Global Ltd. did a remarkable job, putting the prose and pictures into printable form, which you now get to enjoy!

Finally, thanks to our proofreader, Rick Camp, for catching every last error. There’s no error too big or small—he’ll find them all. Thank you.
