Author's Acknowledgments

Special thanks to everyone at Apple who helped me turn this book around in record time: Keri Walker, Janette Barrios, Greg (Joz) Joswiak, Jennifer Hakes, Khyati Shah, Christine Wilhelmy, Teresa Brewer, and all the rest. I couldn't have done it without you.

Thanks also to super-agent Carole "still Swifty to me" McClendon, for deal-making beyond the call of duty, yet again. You've been my agent for over 20 years and you're still a treasure.

Big-time thanks to the gang at Wiley: Bob "Is the damn thing done yet?" Woerner, Rebecca "Whipcracker VIII" Senninger, Andy "The Big Boss Man" Cummings, Barry "Still no humorous nickname" Pruett, and my technical editor, Dennis R. Cohen, who did a rocking job as always, and all the others.

Thanks also to my family and friends, for putting up with me during my all-too-lengthy absences during this book's gestation. And thanks to Saccone's Pizza, Rudy's BBQ, Taco Cabana, Diet Coke, and ShortStop for sustenance.

And finally, thanks to you, gentle reader, for buying this book.
