Acknowledgments

A great deal of love and thanks go out to my family: Sara Beth, Ethan, and Isabel—writing sucks away a lot of time and often has the side of effect of making me a bit cranky, and I couldn’t have done this without their support (and I often wonder why I still get it).

Also, a book like this takes a lot of people to make it successful. With that in mind, a big thanks to everyone who worked on this book with me. First, thanks to Mike Lee, who coauthored the first two editions of this book, but who was busy with a little thing called Appsterdam (www.appsterdam.rs) this time around. His wisdom (as well as many of his words) still permeate this book. Thanks to Joe Kissell for catching numerous errors and providing wonderful advice along the way, Kelly Moritz for making sure everything got moved along where it needed to go, Doug Pundick, Michelle Lowman, Damon Larson, and all the others at Apress who helped make this book possible.
