Acknowledgments

Thanks go most of all to the people at Apple, along with the developers and users who have helped to build the platform and imagine possibilities together to make the world better.

At Pearson, Loretta Yates, Acquisitions Editor, has taken a concept and moved it from an idea through the adventures along the way to printed books and eBooks in a variety of formats. She is always a pleasure to work with.

Mandie Frank, Project Editor, has done a terrific job of keeping things on track with a complex book full of code snippets, figures, and cross references in addition to the text. Technical Editor Robert McGovern caught numerous technical typos and added comments and perspectives that have clarified and enhanced the book.

As always, Carole Jelen at Waterside Productions has provided help and guidance in bringing this book to fruition.
