Acknowledgments

Being a technical writer is an awesome vocation: You get to work at home, you get to set your own schedule, and you get to help other people understand and use technology, which is a big warm-fuzzy-feeling generator. But perhaps the best part of technical writing is getting to be among the first to not only use, but also really dive into the latest and greatest software and hardware. The hardware side is often the most fun, because it means you get to play with gadgets, and that’s a gadget geek’s definition of a dream job. So, to say I had a blast researching and writing about the latest versions of the iPad and iPad mini redefines the word understatement. What self-respecting gadget guy wouldn’t have a perma-grin while poking and prodding these devices to see just what they can do?

And what self-respecting technical writer wouldn’t be constantly shaking his head in admiration while working with the amazing editorial team at Wiley? Skip back a couple of pages to see the complete list of the team who worked so hard to bring you this book. The people I worked with directly included Acquisitions Editor Aaron Black, who brings professionalism and smarts to every project; Project Editor Katharine Dvorak, whose enthusiasm made her a pleasure to work with and whose idea-generating brain made this a much better book; and Copy Editor Lauren Kennedy, who exhibited a gasp-inducing eye for detail and who came up with an awe-inspiring number of really great suggestions that make me look like a much better writer than I am. My heartfelt thanks to all of you for your outstanding work on this project.
