Acknowledgments
Second editions are supposed to be quick—just a chance to correct mistakes
or make improvements and updates to the first edition. This, though, was
almost like writing a new book, and there are so many people I need to thank
who made my work much easier.First, I want to thank you for reading this book. I hope it helps you tackle
some cool and interesting projects of your own when you’re done.Next, the wonderful gang at The Pragmatic Bookshelf deserves not only my
gratitude, but also a lot of the credit for this book. Susannah Pfalzer once
again ensured that one of my books makes sense. She’s an awesome develop-
ment editor and I’m thankful for her time and attention to detail, especially
on a book like this, where thousands of little details need attention. Dave
Thomas and Andy Hunt had great feedback, and I’m grateful for their contin-
ued support. Thank you, all.I was fortunate to have an absolutely amazing group of technical reviewers
on this book. The comments and feedback were excellent, exhaustive, and
full of great suggestions for improvement. Thank you to Cheyenne Clark, Joel
Clermont, Jon Cooley, Chad Dumler-Montplaisir, Jeff Holland, Michael Hunter,
Karoline Klever, Stephen Orr, Dan Reedy, Loren Sands-Ramshaw, Brian
Schau, Matthew John Sias, Tibor Simic, Charley Stran, and Colin Yates, for
all of your help. Not only were your reviews thorough, but they also offered
great advice and insight, and impacted the final version of this book
considerably.Thanks to Jessica Janiuk for providing the screenshots for Android devices.
Thanks to my business associates Chris Warren, Chris Johnson, Mike Weber,
Nick LaMuro, Austen Ott, Erich Tesky, Kevin Gisi, and Jon Kinney for their
