Thanks go to technical editor Frances Buontempo, who provided careful consideration of each chapter and gave detailed, useful feedback at every turn. I thank copyeditor Andy Carroll, whose superb attention to detail on both the Swift book and this one caught several of my mistakes, and also my technical proofreader, Juan Rufes.
