I am deeply grateful to my editor, Robert Eckstein, for all his comments, suggestions, and guidelines throughout the development of this book. I did not know about all the contributions an editor can make to a book until I worked with Bob. Thanks, Bob! Thanks also to the production team at O’Reilly for their hard work on this book.
Special thanks also to Monica Pawlan, Jenny Pratt, Dana Nouri, and Laureen Hudson of the Java Developer Connection (JDC), who either provided comments or edited some of the examples used in this book when they first appeared on the JDC. Also, thanks to the thousands of JDC members who sent in comments and suggestions regarding my articles. Thanks also to the following people who reviewed the contents of this book for accuracy: Ben Griffin, Marc Loy, and Jeff Cunningham.
I would also like to thank my family for their support during my studies, especially my brother, Dr. Mohammad H. Hamdan, for teaching me the value of hard work.
Finally, thanks to my wife, Reema, for her love, support, tolerance, and coffee, and my baby son Yusef, who was born on October 14, 2001, for providing a fun home environment while I finished this book.
