Designing and Engineering Time: The Psychology of Time Perception in Software

Acknowledgments

I would like to first thank the very competent editorial staff at Addison-Wesley, specifically Karen Gettman, Joan Murray, Chris Guzikowski, Emily Frey, Meg Shaw, and Raina Chrobak, who hand-held me through the process of writing my first book. Second, a big thank you (on behalf of the readers, too) must go to the reviewers—Bernard Farrell, Mark Friedman, Terry Gardiner, Tim Patrick, and Susan Ramlet—whose comments helped prevent this book from turning into a textbook. I would also like to thank my talented colleagues at Microsoft, particularly Mark Friedman, who not only provided valuable feedback, but also put many of the concepts in this book to test and to practice.
