Web Performance Tuning

Acknowledgments

Thank you to Linda Mui, my editor at O’Reilly, for her patience and good questions. Thanks to my father, Thomas, for instilling ambition, and to my mother, Diane, for saying I ought to write a book. My wife Leah and son Jacob deserve enormous credit for letting me sit and work in the evenings. Thanks to John Leavitt for the initial review, and to Adrian Cockcroft, Richard Gates, Dan Klein, and Scott Mattoon for reviewing the full draft. Thanks to Mike Connor for the hummingbird cover inspiration, and to Edie Freedman for the great cover art. Michael Wight deserves credit for putting up with silly questions. I told Robert Hellwig I’d mention him here. Jens-S. Vöckler, Dean Gaudet, and Netscape’s Suzanne Anthony were all kind enough to let me include their web pages or portions thereof in the appendixes. Thanks to Sun Microsystems Professional Services for their encouragement. And thanks to everyone on the Internet who is willing to share what they know just because it’s a nice thing to do.
