Acknowledgments

It's been said that it takes a village to raise a child-it's kind of the same thing with a book. Thanks to all the wonderful folks at Apress for helping me bring this book to the world. First, thanks to Gary Cornell for believing in me enough to sign this book. Grace Wong was the project manager; she deserves a big shiny medal for her patient revisions to the book's schedule. Kari Brooks, my copyeditor, helped me polish my writing to its current, fine sheen. Nicolas Lorain was kind enough to step in as our emergency technical editor-thanks for keeping me honest about the technical details.

Most of all, I would like to thank my family, who put up with me while I proved I had the machismo to write a book outside of my day job. Kristen, thanks for being so beautiful, inside and out. You are most amazing person I know. Our children-Daphne, Luke, Andrew, and Elena-will probably thinks it's very funny some day that mobile telephones used to come with just a few megs of memory and have piddly network speeds like 9.6 Kbps. Maybe they'll be the ones to push computing out of its stone age. Whatever they do, I will love them, I'm a very lucky man.
