No author could complete a book without a small army of helpful individuals. Im deeply indebted to the whole Missing Manual team, especially my editor, Nan Barber, who never seemed fazed by the shifting sands of HTML5; and expert tech reviewers Shelley Powers and Steve Suehring, who helped spot rogue errors and offered consistently good advice. And, as always, Im also deeply indebted to numerous others whove toiled behind the scenes indexing pages, drawing figures, and proofreading the final copy.
Finally, for the parts of my life that exist outside this book, Id like to thank all my family members. They include my parents, Nora and Paul; my extended parents, Razia and Hamid; my wife Faria; and my daughters, Maya and Brenna. Thanks, everyone!
The Missing Manual Series
Missing Manuals are witty, superbly written guides to computer products that dont come with printed manuals (which is just about all of them). Each book features a handcrafted index; cross-references to specific pages (not just chapters); and Rep-Kover, a detached-spine binding that lets the book lie perfectly flat without the assistance of weights or cinder blocks.
