ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
THIS BOOK WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE without the support and assistance of many dedicated, helpful, bright, and supportive individuals. Therefore, the authors wish to acknowledge the contributions and assistance of various colleagues, friends, and fellow Java lovers to the writing of this book.
This book is the result of many years of teaching programming courses and working with Java in a research context. We first would like to thank our publisher, Wiley, for accepting our book proposal less than one year ago. Next, we would like to thank our editor, Kelly Talbot, for the excellent collaboration, close follow-up, and timely replies to the many email exchanges we had, as well as the copy, technical, and other assistant editors for the many comments and positive feedback relayed to us, which immensely improved the quality of this book. We are also grateful to the active and lively Java community for providing various user fora, blogs, online lectures, and tutorials, which proved very helpful.
We would also like to acknowledge the direct and indirect contributions of the many colleagues, fellow professors, students, researchers, and friends with whom we have collaborated during the past 10 years.
Last but not least, we are grateful to our partners, parents, and families for their love, support, and encouragement. We hope the readers will enjoy the book and welcome any feedback or suggestions for improvement.
