+== Preface
+
+[#PreForeword]
+
+=== Foreword
+
+This book tries to give you a guide to start your own experiments into
+the wonderful world of Wireshark development.
+
+Developers who are new to Wireshark often have a hard time getting their development environment up and running.
+This is especially true for Windows developers, as a lot of the tools and methods used when building Wireshark are much more common in the UNIX world than on Windows.
+
+The first part of this book will describe how to set up the environment
+needed to develop Wireshark.
+
+The second part of this book will describe how to change the Wireshark
+source code.
+
+We hope that you find this book useful, and look forward to your comments.
+
+[#PreAudience]
+
+=== Who should read this document?
+
+The intended audience of this book is anyone going into the development of
+Wireshark.
+
+This book is not intended to explain the usage of Wireshark in general.
+Please refer the
+{wireshark-users-guide-url}[Wireshark User’s Guide] about Wireshark usage.
+
+By reading this book, you will learn how to develop Wireshark. It will
+hopefully guide you around some common problems that frequently appear for
+new (and sometimes even advanced) developers of Wireshark.
