Acknowledgments
First, I would like to acknowledge the people who encouraged me to work with computers: Harold Shermer (grandfather), Yvonne Jordan (mother), Len Wilcox, Matthew Godleski, David Eck, and Bill Simons.
Second, I would like to acknowledge EffectiveUI, my current employer, for providing me with the opportunity to meet the Java community face to face at JavaONE 2009.
Third, I would like to thank Apress and all the hard work everyone put in to get me through my first book.
Lastly, I would like to thank all of the people who are still my friend after me telling them, “Sorry I can't, I have to finish my book.”
Oh, and Jim Weaver for putting me in touch with Apress in the first place.
