The challenges we??™ve faced during one year of work have transformed this
book into an organizational nightmare, but Tracy has kept us on track, helping us finish the
project successfully.
Heather Lang and Kim Wimpsett for their wonderful edits, which somehow made our
copy sound like it was written by someone who actually knows English (and knows it well!).
Laura Esterman and the rest of the production team for transforming the documents
we??™ve written and the graphics we??™ve submitted into the book that you hold in your hands
right now.
Bogdan Brinzarea-Iamandi, Sharon Dempsey, and Audra Hendrix for testing the code,
verifying the technical accuracy of this book, and suggesting many important improvements
that have significantly improved the quality of this book and eliminated many potential sources
of frustration for readers.
Family and friends of both Cristian and Emilian for the fantastic emotional support they??™ve
offered while writing this book.
