Acknowledgments
I would like to sincerely thank my editor at O’Reilly, Mike Loukides, for the opportunity to write this book and for his steady support. His feedback, insights, and guidance have been both invaluable and highly professional. I would also like to thank the rest of the team at O’Reilly for their support and for making this book possible. Your hard work, as well as your individual and collective contributions, is greatly appreciated.
I also would like to thank the Google Wave team, which provided speedy and diligent answers to my questions and feedback to my writing. I would like to especially thank David Byttow, who was an invaluable contact from the team. David served as a great technical editor, and I am indebted to him for contributing his time and energy to this endeavor.
The Google Wave developer community has emerged as a valuable part of Google Wave, and I would like to give a big thanks to everyone who has contributed, in one way, shape, or form, to the fairly vast knowledge base and resources that already have emerged around Google Wave. Keep up the great work!
Of course, my thanks to you, the reader, and all of the other interested readers out there as well. This book has been great fun, and I hope that you find Google Wave as useful, fun, and valuable as I do.
Lastly, I would like to thank my family for their unequivocal and unending support, especially my wife and best friend, Stefi.
