Acknowledgments
Thanks rst to my friends and colleagues John D. Cox for launching me on
the path to authorship, and to Bill En eld, for his interest and encouragement.
For this second edition, thanks to Project Editor Natalie Harris, Copy Editor
Christy Pingleton, Technical Editor Diane Lindstrom, and Acquisitions Editor
Lindsay Lefevere. All the good stuff is mostly their doing; any mistakes are
mine.
Finally, thanks to my mom for having given me the inspiration to read books,
so I could someday write them, and to my dad for giving me the sense of
humor not to take it too seriously along the way.
