About the Author

  1. Marc Loy

    Marc Loy is a senior programmer at Galileo Systems, LLC, but his day job seems to be teaching Java and Perl to various companies -- including Sun Microsystems. He has played with Java since the alpha days and can't find his way back to C. He is developing an interactive learning application at Galileo written entirely in Java. He received his master's degree in computer science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and still lives in Madison with his partner, Ron Becker. He does find time to relax by playing the piano and/or throwing darts, depending on how successful the day of teaching or programming was.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. Genevieve d'Entremont was the production editor for DVD Studio Pro 3: In the Studio. Audrey Doyle was the copyeditor, and Leanne Soylemez was the proofreader. Rick Schlott, David Futato, and Genevieve d'Entremont did the typesetting and page makeup. Claire Cloutier and Emily Quill provided quality control. Caitrin McCullough and Sanders Kleinfeld provided production assistance. Reg Aubry wrote the index.

Emma Colby designed the cover of this book using Adobe Photoshop CS and Adobe InDesign CS, and produced the cover layout with Adobe InDesign CS using Linotype Birka and Adobe Syntax fonts.

Melanie Wang designed the interior layout, based on a series design by David Futato. This book was converted from Microsoft Word to Adobe InDesign CS by Julie Hawks. The text and heading fonts are Linotype Birka and Adobe Myriad Condensed; the sidebar font is Adobe Syntax; and the code font is TheSans Mono Condensed from LucasFont. The illustrations and screenshots that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia Freehand MX and Adobe Photoshop 7.
