Dedicated to all of you who asked me to create this book, I hope I have lived up to your expectations.

Ben

I would like to dedicate my contribution to this book to my beautiful wife Jamie, who encouraged me through all the late nights and long weekends.

Dennis

To my wife Jackie, for being my best friend and the love of my life.

Randy

I would like to dedicate this to my family, especially my wife, who had to put up with me through this process. To John Weatherley who guided me through the early years of ColdFusion. Bruce Lee for providing the philosophical guidance that will always transcend his art.
