Acknowledgments

This book would not exist without the efforts of Chuck Toporek (my editor and whip-cracker), Chris Zahn (the awesomely talented development editor), and Olivia Basegio (the faithful and rocking editorial assistant who kept things rolling behind the scenes). Also, a big thank you to the entire Addison-Wesley/Pearson production team, specifically Kristy Hart, Anne Goebel, Bart Reed, Linda Seifert, Erika Millen, Nonie Ratcliff, and Gary Adair. Thanks also to the crew at Safari for getting my book up in Rough Cuts and for quickly fixing things when technical glitches occurred.

Thanks go as well to Neil Salkind, my agent of many years, to the tech reviewers (Jon Bauer, Joachim Bean, Tim Burks, and Matt Martel) who helped keep this book in the realm of sanity rather than wishful thinking, and to all my colleagues, both present and former, at TUAW, Ars Technica, and the Digital Media/Inside iPhone blog.
