About This E-Book
EPUB is an open, industry-standard format for e-books. However, support for EPUB and its many features varies across reading devices and applications. Use your device or app settings to customize the presentation to your liking. Settings that you can customize often include font, font size, single or double column, landscape or portrait mode, and figures that you can click or tap to enlarge. For additional information about the settings and features on your reading device or app, visit the device manufacturers Web site.
Many titles include programming code or configuration examples. To optimize the presentation of these elements, view the e-book in single-column, landscape mode and adjust the font size to the smallest setting. In addition to presenting code and configurations in the reflowable text format, we have included images of the code that mimic the presentation found in the print book; therefore, where the reflowable format may compromise the presentation of the code listing, you will see a Click here to view code image link.

Acknowledgments
An enormous amount of credit for this book goes to Christopher A. Crayton, without whom this edition would be only a shadow of what it is. It was an honor to work with him again, and I owe him enormous gratitude. Thanks are also due to Mike Harwood, who wrote the first few editions, and to the team of talented individuals at Pearson who work behind the scenes and make each title the best it can be.
