Acknowledgments*<br />

Even more technical review:<br />

We’re also extremely grateful to our esteemed technical reviewer David Powers.<br />

We have a real love/hate relationship <strong>with</strong> David because he made us work<br />

so hard, but the result was oh so worth it. The truth be told, based on David’s<br />

comments, we made significant changes to this book and it is technically twice the<br />

book it was before. Thank you, David.<br />

At O’Reilly:<br />

Our biggest thanks to our editor, Brett McLaughlin, who cleared the path for<br />

this book, removed every obstacle to its completion, and sacrificed family time to<br />

get it done. Brett also did hard editing time on this book (not an easy task for a<br />

<strong>Head</strong> <strong>First</strong> title). Thanks Brett, this book wouldn’t have happened <strong>with</strong>out you.<br />

Our sincerest thanks to the whole O’Reilly team: Greg Corrin, Glenn<br />

Bisignani, Tony Artuso, and Kyle Hart all led<br />

the way on marketing and we appreciate their outof-the-box<br />

approach. Thanks to Ellie Volkhausen<br />

for her inspired cover design that continues to serve<br />

Brett McLaughlin<br />

us well, and to Karen Montgomery for stepping in and bringing life to this book’s<br />

cover. Thank you, as always, to Colleen Gorman for her hardcore copyedit (and for<br />

keeping it all fun). And, we couldn’t have pulled off a color book like this <strong>with</strong>out Sue<br />

Willing and Claire Cloutier.<br />

No <strong>Head</strong> <strong>First</strong> acknowledgment would be complete <strong>with</strong>out thanking Mike<br />

Loukides for shaping the <strong>Head</strong> <strong>First</strong> concept into a series, and to Tim O’Reilly for always being<br />

there and his continued support. Finally, thanks to Mike Hendrickson for bringing us into the <strong>Head</strong> <strong>First</strong><br />

family and having the faith to let us run <strong>with</strong> it.<br />

Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates:<br />

Last, and anything but least, to Kathy<br />

Sierra and Bert Bates, our partners<br />

in crime and the BRAINS who created the<br />

series. Thanks guys for trusting us even more<br />

<strong>with</strong> your baby. We hope once again we’ve<br />

done it justice. The three-day jam session was<br />

the highlight of writing the book, we hope to<br />

repeat it soon. Oh, and next time around can<br />

you give LTJ a call and tell him he’s just going<br />

to have to make a trip back to Seattle?<br />

*The large number of acknowledgments is because we’re testing the theory<br />

that everyone mentioned in a book acknowledgment will buy at least one copy,<br />

probably more, what <strong>with</strong> relatives and everything. If you’d like to be in the<br />

acknowledgment of our next book, and you have a large family, write to us.<br />

Esteemed Reviewer,<br />
