I'd like to start by thanking Nadeem, the acquisition editor, for bringing me in to this project! I also want to thank Parshva, the content editor, for his kind words and support while writing these 15 chapters!

Thanks to the friendly staff at my local Starbucks in Starmall, just outside Manila. If I wasn't writing code samples in my office, I was working on chapters at Starbucks. I was always greeted with a smile and questions on how the book was progressing. A special thanks to Niron for stepping up to the challenge of making the Android coffee design, used in the cover photo, and Leigh, the manager, for indulging us while we took pictures of our coffee.

And finally, my wife Karen, not only for her encouragement on this book, and patience while I was coding at midnight New Year's Eve, but also for her wonderful photo, used on the cover!
