Colophon

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Designing Active Server Pages is a night monkey. The night monkey, also known as the owl monkey, is found in South America, specifically in northern Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Equador, Guyana, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela. It lives in trees and subsists on a diet of fruit, leaves, insects, flowers, and bird eggs. As its name suggests, it is nocturnal and in fact, is the only nocturnal member of the monkey species. It is one of the smaller primates; adults usually weigh about two pounds and are about 11 to 16 inches long. A night monkey's eyes are larger than any other South American primate's and are a great asset to their nighttime lifestyle.

Night monkeys are monogamous and travel in family packs. The mother cares for a newborn in its first week of life; after that, the father takes over all parental duties except for nursing. The father carries the baby for approximately six months. The baby begins easing more into family play and foraging for food on its own in the second half of its first year. A night monkey reaches maturity between two and three years of age, at which point it leaves its family group and strikes out on its own. Mary Sheehan was the production editor and proofreader for Designing Active Server Pages. Nancy Kotary was the production manager. Ellie Maden was the copyeditor, and Colleen Gorman and Mary Anne Weeks Mayo provided quality control. John Bickelhaupt and Brenda Miller wrote the index.

Edie Freedman designed the cover of this book, using an image from Johnson's Natural History. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.

Alicia Cech and David Futato designed the interior layout based on a series design by Nancy Priest. Mike Sierra implemented the design in FrameMaker 5.5.6. The text and heading fonts are ITC Garamond Light and Garamond Book. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano using Macromedia FreeHand 8 and Adobe Photoshop 5. This colophon was written by Mary Sheehan.

Whenever possible, our books use a durable and flexible lay-flat binding. If the page count exceeds this binding's limit, perfect binding is used.
