I dedicate this book to my brother John.

I'd like to thank all the good people at Sybex who contributed to this book. Senior Acquisitions Editor Kenyon Brown's sponsorship and encouragement made this book possible in the first 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 final stages of copy editing, proofing, and design. And, finally, I appreciated the efforts of Nancy Bell, proofreader, who ensured that anomalies in the details were discovered and purged.
