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 book was written in Word 2001, whose revision-tracking and collaboration features (see Chapter 5) made life far easier as drafts were circulated from authors to technical and copy editors.

The screen images in this book were captured by Ambrosia Software's Snapz Pro 2 (www.ambrosiasw.com); Adobe Photoshop 6 (www.adobe.com) and Macromedia Freehand (www.macromedia.com) were called in as required for touching them up. The book was designed and laid out in Adobe PageMaker 6.5 on a Power Mac 8500, Power Mac G3, and and Power Mac G4. The fonts used include Formata (as the sans-serif family) and Minion (as the serif body face). To provide the apple logo and figs command symbols, a custom font was created using Macromedia Fontographer.

Index entries were typed into a custom FileMaker database, then collated and formatted by a custom indexing program written in MacPerl. The book was then generated as Adobe Acrobat PDF files for proofreading, "beta reading," and final transmission to the printing plant.
