its <span class="emphasis"><em>Exploring Java</em></span> incarnation and in its current
form as <span class="emphasis"><em>Learning Java</em></span>. Foremost, we would like to
thank Tim O’Reilly for giving us the opportunity to write this book.
Thanks to Mike Loukides, the series editor, whose patience and experience
helped us get started on this journey. Thanks to Paula Ferguson and John
Posner, who contributed their organizational and editing abilities at
various times. And a special thanks to Deb Cameron, the tireless editor of
this book, without whom the previous two editions might never have been
finished and certainly wouldn’t have resembled English. We could not have
asked for a more skillful or responsive team of people with whom to
work.</p><p>Speaking of borrowings, the original version of the glossary came
from David Flanagan’s book <a class="ulink" href="http://oreil.ly/Java_Nutshell_5"><span class="emphasis"><em>Java in a
Nutshell</em></span></a> (O’Reilly). We also borrowed several class
hierarchy diagrams from David’s book. These diagrams were based on similar
diagrams by Charles L. Perkins.</p><p>Thanks also to Marc Wallace and Steven Burkett for reading the
original work in progress and for the support of our friends at Washington
University: Bryan O’Connor and Brian Gottlieb. Thanks also to Josh Peck,
coauthor of the original book, <span class="emphasis"><em>Exploring Java</em></span>. Thanks
to all those who reviewed or answered questions: David Flanagan for
generics; Henry Wong for the concurrency utilities; Jim Elliott, Marc Loy,
and Brian Cole for Swing; Jack Shirazi for NIO; Tim Boudreau for NetBeans;
Martin Aeschlimann, Jim Farley, and John Norman for Eclipse; Ed Howland
for XML; and Ian Darwin for regular expressions. (Check out Ian’s <a class="ulink" href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596007010.do"><span class="emphasis"><em>Java
Cookbook</em></span></a> [O’Reilly] for more examples.) Thanks also to
Ray O’Leary, Mario Aquino, and Mark Volkmann for their reviews. And
finally, thanks to my beautiful wife, Ellen Song, for putting up with me
through all this work.</p></div></body></html>
