, Tony Artuso , and Kyle Hart all led the way on marketing
and we appreciate their out-of-the-box approach.
Thanks to Ellie Volkhausen for her inspired cover design that continues to serve
us well, and to Karen Montgomery for stepping in and bringing life to this book’s
cover. Thank you, as always, to Colleen Gorman for her hardcore copyedit (and for
keeping it all fun). And we couldn’t have pulled off a color book like this without Sue Willing and Claire Cloutier.
No Head First acknowledgment would be complete without thanking
Mike Loukides for shaping the Head First concept into a series, and to
Tim O’Reilly for always being there and his
continued support. Finally, thanks to
Mike Hendrickson for bringing us into the Head
First family and having the faith to let us run
with it.
Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates: Last, and anything but least, to
Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates , our partners
in crime and the BRAINS who created the
series. Thanks, guys, for trusting us even more with your baby. We hope once again we’ve
done it justice. The three-day jam session was
the highlight of writing the book, we hope to
repeat it soon. Oh, and next time around, can
you give LTJ a call and tell him he’s just going
to have to make a trip back to Seattle?
Acknowledgments (first edition)*

*The large number of acknowledgments is because we’re testing the theory
that everyone mentioned in a book acknowledgment will buy at least one copy,
probably more, what with relatives and everything. If you’d like to be in the
acknowledgment of our
next book, and you have a large family, write to us.
Don’t let the sweater fool
you—this guy is hardcore
(technically of course).
