Acknowledgments

As is so often the case, to write this book, I stood on the shoulders of giants far too numerous to acknowledge. However, I’d like to mention a few people whose writings or code taught me a lot about Cocoa: Peter Ammon, Mike Ash, Bill Bumgarner, Mark Dalrymple, Aaron Hillegass, Matt Gallagher, Matt Gemmell, Bob Ippolito, Christopher Lloyd, Nat of mulle-kybernetik.com, and Scott Stevenson. I would also like to thank the cocoadev.com community for sharing their knowledge so freely.

I’d like to thank my friends, teachers, and parents for all they have taught me and give a big thank-you to my wife, Simone, for emotional support and practical help while writing this book.

Finally, I’d like to thank the staff at Sams who helped me dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s.
