Dedication With heartfelt thanks to my husband, Bill, and children, Jackie and Ricky … for their endless support, devotion, assistance, understanding, and patience during my work on this and all other projects throughout my career. I love you all dearly. Thanks also to Sue, Steve, Jennifer, and Mark. It’s a pleasure to work with such a dedicated team. — Misty E. Vermaat Thanks to my family and friends for their support, encouragement, and patience. Special acknowledgement goes to my mother, Mandy, and to my professors at Purdue University, especially James Quasney, Ralph Webb, and Daniel Yovich, who taught me that keeping a positive mental attitude and striving for excellence are the keys to success. — Susan L. Sebok For my wife, Traci, and my children, Maddy and Sam, whose support and love are incredibly motivating. Thanks to my parents for their endless encouragement, and to Linda Linardos, who was instrumental in starting my writing career. — Steven M. Freund I would like to thank Mike, Emma, and Lucy for their support and inspiration, and Maggie for providing welcome distractions. Special thanks to my parents for being terrific role models. — Jennifer T. Campbell Thanks to my family and friends for their encouragement, and to my colleagues and students at Bentley University for their helpful feedback, which guided my contributions to this book. Thanks to Bentley University for providing me with an environment to learn and teach new technology. — Mark Frydenberg The author team also would like to thank our developmental editor, Lyn Markowicz, whose patience, attention to detail, and determination contributed in so many meaningful ways to this project. We dedicate this book to the memory of Thomas J. Cashman (4/29/32 – 1/7/15). As one of the founders of the Shelly Cashman Series, Tom partnered with Gary Shelly to write and publish their first computer education textbook in 1969, revolutionizing the introductory computing course and changing the path of computing course materials. From 1969 through his retirement in 2008, Tom served as educator, author, leader, and inspiration to his fellow authors and Shelly Cashman Series team members. His mark on the series and the introductory computing market is indelible and he will be both remembered and missed. Copyright 2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.
