Object-Oriented Programming in C++, Fourth Edition

Acknowledgments to the Fourth Edition

My thanks to many readers who e-mailed comments and corrections. I am also indebted to the

following professors of computer science who offered their suggestions and corrections: Bill

Blomberg of Regis University in Denver; Richard Daehler-Wilking of the College of

Charleston in South Carolina; Frank Hoffmann of the Royal Institute of Technology in

Sweden, and David Blockus of San Jose State University in California. My special thanks to

David Topham of Ohlone College in Fremont, California, for his many detailed ideas and his

sharp eye for problems.

At Sams Publishing, Michael Stephens provided an expert and friendly liaison with the details

of publishing. Reviewer Robin Rowe and Technical Editor Mark Cashman attempted with

great care to save me from myself; any lack of success is entirely my fault. Project Manager

Christina Smith made sure that everything came together in an amazingly short time, Angela

Boley helped keep everything moving smoothly, and Matt Wynalda provided expert proofread-

ing. I’m grateful to you all.
