-This book is *not* the kind of book that manufactures a context and
-imposes it on the reader by describing concepts in terms of a single
-progressively-modified sample application; its narrative *doesn't*
-build a small application into a larger one as the book progresses.
-As a result, you should be able to read a chapter in relative
-isolation without reading the previous chapters, and you should be
-able to get useful information out of the book even if you don't read
-it from cover-to-cover.
