Acknowledgments
There are many people who work to put a book together, and although as authors we dedi-
cate an enormous amount of time to writing the book, it would never be published without
the dedicated, hard work of the whole team at Wiley. They are truly a fantastic group to
work with, and without the Wiley team this book would have never been possible.
First, we’d like to thank Kenyon Brown, our senior acquisitions editor, who offered us
support and guidance through the writing process. Ken was always there to answer ques-
tions and point us in the right direction. Without Ken as a mentor, we could never have
pulled this one off.
We also can never thank our development editor, David Clark, too many times; David is
a true professional who stayed on top of the schedule and professionally reminded us of the
next upcoming deadline we were working to meet. Without David’s help, putting this book
together would have been much more difficult. David has the ability to take the raw text
from the authors, who are primarily engineers, and manage to turn it into presentable copy.
Thanks again, David!
Kunal Mittal offered excellent input as our technical editor. He gave us invaluable
feedback on how to make the technical concepts more understandable to the readers and
pointed out where we needed to modify our technical content for accuracy. It was great
that Kunal was able to be on this project with us.
A big thank you to Katie Wisor, the production editor on this project. Kim Wimpsett
worked the markup magic in the background as the copyeditor. The authors are both
amazed at how Katie and Kim along with their team of professionals could take our work
and transform it into such a presentable book. We’re sure there is a whole staff at Wiley
lurking in the background, and we will never know how much they helped, but to everyone
at Wiley, a big thank-you! You made the late nights and long weekends of writing and put-
ting this book together all worthwhile.
