Palm OS Network Programming

Acknowledgments

This book is a realization of a dream that I never knew I had. It has been a long time coming and there have been many, many people who helped me along this journey. I would first like to thank my parents Joel and Susan Winton, and my brothers, Andy and Jeff, for all their encouragement and support through the years.

I was fortunate to have several exceptional teachers along the way. I would like to thank Miss Haussman for encouraging my curiosity, Mrs. Zweibel for introducing me to the wonders of science and writing, Mme. Solomon for teaching me to learn, Mr. William Laufenberg for teaching me to take the heat, Ms. Jo Conger for appreciating my perspective, Mr. Ben Mazza for sharing his love of language and literature, Professor William Jordan for showing me that nothing is impossible, not even writing really long, boring texts.

My excellent friends Eric Brodnax, Vinnie Clowney, Helen Condon, George Fisette, Will Kinney, Sean Quinlin, Andrea Panjwani, Scott Sedar, Hillary Sullivan, and Stephanie Zancolli have guided me, supported me, and stood by me at the hardest moments of my life. My friends in Vermont, across the country, and around the world have lent me all sorts of moral and logistical support as I struggled with this book. I am especially grateful to those that have served as my muses.

Writing the book proved to be a much larger effort than I had ever expected. I would like to thank Glenn Bachmann, whose acclaimed book, Palm Programming, was an inspiration ...
