It's hard to believe I've actually reached the stage of writing the introductory pages to this book. It's been
a long process and I don't think I would have reached this point without the help of Tim Briggs at Wrox,
who very gently urged me onwards and gave me encouragement when I needed it. Tim's contribution to
this project was vital to its success because he developed the process which converted my DOCBOOK
output into something the Wrox editors could turn into a book. Tim also prepared the CD-ROM content
from the same XML files; truly amazing!
Thanks also to all the other folks at Wrox who have helped, organised, checked and collated my material
to present it in the form you now see it. Grateful thanks to my reviewers, who in a very short time
provided me with some useful guidance and support; in particular Jon Stephens and Martin Honnen,
who also provided some amazingly clever example code fragments for use as examples.
There are many other people who contributed without realising it. In particular Nick Cohen (formerly of
the BBC and now at Turner Broadcasting) who provided some helpful insights into TV set-top-box
workings. Also Matt Karas and Emyr Tomos (both ex-BBC, now at Talkcast) who threw down the
gauntlet of several interesting challenges for me to implement on the BBC News Online web site. I also
wouldn't be sitting here if it weren't for Bruce Morris at Carlton Online. It was through the happy chance
of an article I wrote for Bruce's Web Developer's Journal (WDJ) web site that led to Wrox contacting me
and the BBC inviting me to do some JavaScript work. What an amazing thing the web is.
Most importantly I dedicate this book to my family. To my wife, Julie and my daughters Hannah, Lydia
and Ruth who kept me going with cups of coffee, hugs and the occasional giggle when they saw the
photograph of me for the front cover.
