Acknowledgments

There are many people who have been involved with the development of this book, and because of their hard work and dedication, you are now holding it. First, I’d like to thank everyone at Charles River Media, and especially Dave Pallai, for the opportunity to write another book. It continues to be a great pleasure to work with you. Thank you all for your help and advice throughout the process.

Lastly, thanks to my family, my wife Amy and son Clayton, for giving up so much of their time to allow me the opportunity to do these types of projects.
