ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Many people have read and reread every word, symbol, and punctuation mark in this book in order to produce a better result. Kudos to the following people for their careful work on the second edition: development editor Athabasca Witschi, copyeditor/production editor Rachel Monaghan, and proofreader James Fraleigh.

I would like to take the opportunity to graciously thank Anthony Tribelli, a longtime friend, who went well beyond the call of duty when doing a technical review of this book. He pulled every line of code out of this book (including snippets) and compiled and ran it to make sure it worked properly. His suggestions and opinions throughout the technical review process have dramatically improved the quality of this work.

Thanks to all of you,

Randall Hyde
