A book of this nature does not come about through one person's imagination and work—it comes about through the effort of many people, including those who define the concepts, work through the problems, and create the libraries.
I want to thank the creators of all the libraries mentioned in this book for providing them so willingly and freely. Most of these library developers do not earn anything for such labor, and yet they provide polished sites, documentation, bug fixes, and new releases—all of which can be downloaded and used in any of our applications.
I also want to thank Jon Sullivan at Public Domain Photos (http://pdphoto.org/About.php) for all the photos he's given away freely to use, including the one of the "appletini" used in the application in Chapter 2.
I want to thank those who worked with me on the book, including my reviewers: Elaine Nelson, Dare Obasanjo, Roger Johansson, Jesse Skinner, Roy Owens, Anthony Holder III, Anne Zalenka, and Kathy Sierra. I also want to thank my editor, Simon St.Laurent. This now makes my third solo book for O'Reilly, and those who know me admire him greatly for his patience.
I'd also like to thank the folks that helped put this book together, including Lucie Haskins, Reba Libby, Laurel Ruma, and Amy Thomson.
This book is a better book because of all the support I've received.
