Dedicated to the memory of Paul Fallon
Tá daoine a shiúlann inár saolta agus shiúlann amach astu go luath
Tá daoine a fhanann ar feadh tamaill
Agus fágann said rianta a gcos ar ár gcroíthe
Agus casann ár n-anamacha port nua go deo deo

IV HTML MULTIMEDIA
Writing a book is a time-consuming and difficult process, and one I knew noth-
ing about before embarking on this project. A number of people have helped me
through the book-writing process, and others have helped me through the HTML5
process, whether they know it or not. All deserve my thanks.
