Spring in Action.
The creation of this book was not just a two-man job. In addition to the two
authors, a great number of people were involved in many ways to make this
book possible.
First, we’d like to acknowledge the book’s behind-the-scenes crew at Manning Publications: publisher Marjan Bace, his assistant Susan Capparelle, our
editor Jackie Carter, as well as Denis Dalinnik, Leslie Haimes, Mary Piergies,
Liz Welch, Susan Forsyth, and Helen Trimes. We can’t imagine working with a
better team of professionals. You are all very good at what you do and deserve
commendation for producing the best technical books in the world.
We’d also like to thank each of the reviewers who contributed their time to
provide us with the feedback, criticism, and inspiration we needed to shape
the book: Doug Warren, Muhammad Ashikuzzaman, Ryan Cox, Mojahedul
Hasanat, Jack Herrington, Olivier Jolly,William Lopez, Lester Martin, Dmitri
Maximovich, Daniel Miller, Christian Parker, Matthew Payne, and Norman
Richard
