Acknowledgments

We’d like to collectively thank everyone at Manning, especially Karen Miller, Michael Stephens, Ozren Harlovic, Rebecca Rinehart, Candace Gillhooley, and Ana Romac. And thanks to Christina Rudloff, who helped us get started.

We’d also like to thank our technical editor, Barry Polley, and our technical proofreader, Andy Hicks. Their help was invaluable. The MEAP reviewers provided great feedback: Brian Hanafee, Jeff Condal, Chuck Daniels, Christian Horsdal, Ronald Tischliar, M. Marc-Philippe Huget, Ramsés Morales, Craig Aspinall, Helmuth Breitenfellner, Adam Slysz, Alain Couniot, Carlos Aya, Emre Kucukayvaz, Charles Feduke, Alberto Quario, Scott Dierbeck, Dimitrios Liapis, and Dr. Dan Klose.

Dave: I want to thank Tanya Gouthro, Bettina Wittneben, and Katrin Hellermann, who encouraged me to go for it. Thanks also to employers and friends past and present, including Dave Else, Pete Boyle, Rebecca Simmonds, and Ramsey Khoury, who set me up to experiment with weird technologies as part of my job. And I thank my parents, Bill and Carol, who stimulated my career in tech by encouraging me to mess with computers, guns, exploration, and music (happily not all at the same time).
