About the Author

Doug Lowe has written enough computer books to line all the birdcages in California. His other books include Word 2010 All-in-One For Dummies , Java All-in-One For Dummies , and Networking For Dummies , 9th Edition.

Although Doug has yet to win a Pulitzer Prize, he remains cautiously optimistic. He is hopeful that James Cameron will pick up the film rights to this book and suggests Avatar II: The Phantom Presentation as a working title.

Doug lives in sunny Fresno, California, which is kind of boring but fortunately close to non-boring places like Disneyland, Yosemite, and San Francisco.

Dedication

To Rebecca, Sarah, and Bethany.

Authors Acknowledgments

Id like to thank the whole crew at Wiley who helped with this edition, especially Blair Pottenger who did a great job keeping the entire project moving along when deadlines came and chapters didnt. Copy editor Beth Taylor dotted all the ts and crossed all the is, or something like that, and managed to get my crude prose readable. Ryan Williams gave the entire manuscript a thorough technical review and made many excellent suggestions. And, of course, many other people pitched in.

Id also like to thank everyone who helped out with previous editions of this book: Kim Darosett, Virginia Sanders, Mark Enochs, Kala Schrager, Jennifer Riggs, Rebecca Mancilla, Doug Sahlin, Andrea Boucher, Garret Pease, Steve Hayes, Kel Oliver, Nancy DelFavero, Grace Jasmine, Rev Mengle, Tina Sims, Pam Mourouzis, Leah Cameron, Jim McCarter, Kezia Endsley, Becky Whitney, and Michael Partington.
