Core Data for iOS: Developing Data-Driven Applications for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch

Acknowledgments from Tom Harrington

I’d like to thank my wife Carey for encouraging me to embark on a career that appealed to me but seemed too risky to jump into. After the dot-com boom in 2001, Carey was the one who suggested there might be more interesting things to do than look for another day job. I never expected to run my own business and would not have done so without Carey’s help. I’ve been independent ever since and have never looked back.

I’d also like to thank Tim Isted and Chuck Toporek for giving me the opportunity to work on this book, and to Marcus Zarra for introducing me to Tim in the first place. Also, this book would not have been possible without the technical reviewers who help make Tim and I look good.
