Acknowledgments

This book would not be possible without the assistance of a large number of people providing several kinds of support, especially editing of prose, clarifying explanations, verifying the content of the material, hoisting of slack in workloads, and tolerating the long and persistent retreats into the home offices that enabled the authors to get the work done. George Chow and Richard Mao at Simba Technologies get special recognition for authoring Chapter 15 (Client Programming Basics). Deepak Puri provided technical review during book development.
