First and foremost, I would like to thank my wife and family for putting up with my many hours at the computer while writing this book. Special thanks and love to my wife for all her encouragement and support.

I'd also like to say thanks to all the people at Packt Publishing for helping me with this book. Thank you, Larissa, for your encouragement from the beginning. I would also like to thank Anand and Ankita for their hard work in helping me complete this book.

Finally, thanks to everyone who has worked on NetBeans, making it the product it is today. Without you all, this book would not exist.
