This book was written and edited in Microsoft Word 2004 on various Macs.
The screenshots were captured with Ambrosia Software’s Snapz Pro X (www.
ambrosiasw.com). Adobe Photoshop CS and Macromedia Freehand MX (www.adobe.
com) were called in as required for touching them up.
The book was designed and laid out in Adobe InDesign 3.0 on a PowerBook G4 and
Power Mac G5. The fonts used include Formata (as the sans-serif family) and Minion
(as the serif body face). To provide the a and c symbols, custom fonts were created
using Macromedia Fontographer.
The book was then generated as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file for proofreading, index-
ing, and final transmission to the printing plant.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
