xxiiiAcknowledgments
I would like to acknowledge all my fantastic Editors, and their support staff at Apress, who worked those
long hours and toiled so very hard on this book, to make it the ultimate Pro Java 9 Games Development
application production book title.
Steve Anglin, for his work as the Lead Editor on the book, and for recruiting me to write Java, HTML
and Android programming titles at Apress covering the most popular open source application development
platforms available anywhere today.
Matthew Moodie, for his work as the Development Editor on the book, and for his experience and
guidance during the process of making this book one of the great Pro Java 9 Games Development titles
currently available in the market.
Mark Powers, for his work as the Coordinating Editor on the book, and for his constant diligence in
making sure I either hit my Java 9 chapter delivery deadlines or surpassed them.
Jeff Freisen, for his work as the Technical Reviewer on the book, and for making sure that I did not
make any Java 9 programming mistakes, because Java code with mistakes does not run properly, if at all,
unless the Java code includes very lucky mistakes, which is quite rare in computer programming these days.
