A large number of individuals at Prentice Hall and Sun Microsystems Press provided valu-
able assistance, but they managed to stay behind the scenes. I'd like them all to know how
much I appreciate their efforts. As always, my warm thanks go to my editor, Greg Doench
of Prentice Hall, for steering the book through the writing and production process, and for
allowing me to be blissfully unaware of the existence of all those folks behind the scenes. I
am grateful to Vanessa Moore for the excellent production support. My thanks also to my
coauthor of earlier editions, Gary Cornell, who has since moved on to other ventures.
Thanks to the many readers of earlier editions who reported embarrassing errors and
made lots of thoughtful suggestions for improvement. I am particularly grateful to the
excellent reviewing team that went over the manuscript with an amazing eye for detail
and saved me from many more embarrassing errors.
