Senior Acquisitions Editor Kenyon Brown’s sponsorship and encouragement made this book possible in the fi rst place, and he also oversaw its progress through the various departments that polish, compose, and complete a book. I’m also indebted to Development Editor David Clark who, once again, contributed valuable ideas that improved this latest edition. Technical Editor Russ Mullen carefully checked the manuscript for accuracy and ensured that the code examples worked as advertised. Also thanks go to Joel Jones, production editor, who moved the book through its fi nal stages of copy editing, proofi ng, and design. And, fi nally, I appreciated the efforts of Nancy Bell, proofreader, who ensured that anomalies in the details were discovered and purged. ffi rs.indd 9:53:44:PM/01/27/2016 Page vii
