This book is the result of the joint efforts of many people working together over the last few years. You would not be reading this book were it not for the key contributions of our invited authors as well as the kind support of Nokia and Qt software. We are deeply grateful to all our co-authors and industry (or 'other') supporters of this book.

We would like to thank Harri Pennanen and Jarmo Rintamaki from Nokia for encouraging us to start this book project. They have successfully kept up our motivation and enthusiasm over the last few months. Besides the material support provided, we greatly appreciate their logistical help by organizing numerous meetings to bring us together with other experts and programmers.

We are also greatly beholden to Knut Yrvin from Trolltech/Qt software. He encouraged us to incorporate Qt into our teaching environment and supported us with material such as the very first Greenphone and with travel funds over the years.

We are particularly thankful to Birgit Gruber, Chris Webb, Colleen Goldring, Ellie Scott, Graham Henry, Juliet Booker and Martin Tribe from Wiley for their help on the book.
