Individuals from many other companies have contributed valuable comments to the manuscript and the sample applications at various stages of the development.

I am grateful to the fine professionals at Prentice Hall PTR. Executive editor Greg Doench is the driver behind this project. He patiently guided me through the entire publishing process, helped define the scope and depth of the book, and yet allowed me to write freely. The production staff and freelance contractors are very helpful. I thank Brandt Kenna for reviews and other logistics, Lisa Iarkowski and Faye Gemmellaro for production management, Carol Lallier for copy editing, Debby Van Dijk for marketing management, Lori Hughes for LATEXhelp, and many others who worked behind the scenes. I also would like to thank my technical reviewers: Steve Jones, Sandeep Garg, Enrique Ortiz, and Angus McIntyre. Steve Jones also provided the mobile database sample applications used in Chapters 11 and 13.

Finally, this book would not have been possible without the support from my family. My mother Ming Zhang and late father ChengChang Yuan inspired me to be all I can be, and they have always supported my choices of career paths. I am deeply in debt to my dearest wife Ju Long for all the support and encouragement she has given me during the past several years. Ju has shouldered most of the tedious housework despite her own busy schedule as a Ph.D. candidate in Management Information Systems. In addition, her professional expertise and insights have proven essential to this book. Ju is the true hero behind the scenes, and she deserves all the glory.
