Acknowledgments
Thanks to my editor, Andy Oram, who struggled alongside me through
some difficult challenges of structure and design. This book
wouldn't have been nearly as clear and readable
without Andy's insights and patient influence.Thanks also to Margot Maley of Waterside Productions, Inc., who
brought this authorship opportunity to my attention.Several reviewers, some working for O'Reilly Media
and some working elsewhere, commented on the manuscript and suggested
helpful corrections and improvements. In particular,
I'd like to thank the following people for taking
time to review this book: Dr. Steve Beatty, Joshua Brindle, David
Castro, and George Chamales. I greatly appreciate their assistance
and readily confess that any errors in the manuscript were added by
me after their reviews, and so are entirely my responsibility.My familyJennifer, Patrick, and Saraprovided their
customary compassion and assistance during this latest authorship
experience. Thanks, guys!I also acknowledge the faithfulness of my savior, Jesus Christ. His
perfect love is entirely undeserved.
