ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Many thanks to the enthusiastic and dedicated team at No Starch Press, especially to my thorough and patient editors Jennifer Griffith-Delgado and Serena Yang, who have guided this project from initial idea to finished book with skill and imagination.

I would especially like to thank Miran Lipovača for his wonderful illustrations that add so much to the book and Jeremy Blum for his technical review of the material. I am very honored to have two such noteworthy individuals involved in the project.

Finally I would like to thank Linda (see Figure 5-15) for her patience and understanding during the writing of this book.
