The Missing Credits
About the Author
About the Author
Kevin Purdy is a guy from upstate New York who somehow convinced the founding editor of software and productivity blog Lifehacker to take a chance on a young newspaper reporter with a secret geek life. He blogged at Lifehacker for over three years, and somehow managed to write The Complete Android Guide during that time. He now makes a living writing for whoever will have his words, and doesn’t make much of a living organizing TEDxBuffalo, obsessing over homemade specialty coffee, and hosting the In Pod Form podcast. He lives in Buffalo, NY, with his wife and two cats. Email: kspurdy@gmail.com.

Acknowledgments
Editor Dawn Mann is a rock, and she knows how to roll with both a fast-moving subject and an occasionally sideways-running author. Cassandra Moffitt has the sharpest eyes around when it comes to catching buttons, clicks, and overly clever site designs. Web-syncing software Dropbox kept the book’s chapters and images safe and accessible at all times, and Snagit made all these screen-shots possible. The support, and how-to training, provided by Gina Trapani and Adam Pash were invaluable. And none of this would be possible without my wife, to whom I owe quite a few home-cooked meals.
The Missing Manual Series
Missing Manuals are witty, superbly written guides to computer products that don’t come with printed manuals (which is just about all of them). Each book features a handcrafted index and cross-references to specific pages (not just chapters).
