We want to express our sincere thanks to Sybex for continuing to support this project.

Although this book bears our name as authors, numerous people contributed to its design and development of the content. They helped make this book possible, or at best, it would be in a lesser form without them. Kenyon Brown was the acquisitions editor and so helped get the book started. Pete Gaughan, the managing editor, oversaw the book as it progressed through all its stages. Jon Buhagiar was the technical editor who checked the text for technical errors and omissionsbut any remaining mistakes are our own. Patrick Walsh, the project editor, helped keep the text grammatical and understandable. Archana Pragash, content refinement specialist, and others from her team helped check the text for typos and shaped the content.
