Acknowledgments

for RuBoard

First, I'd to thank the tag-team editors on this project at Sams, Sondra Scott and Kim Spilker. Both helped to make the project go smoothly from the initial concept right up until publication, and for that I am grateful. And as with the last book I wrote, Development Editor Shannon Leuma did a wonderful job in making sure that the content was consistent, well organized, and that the elements used in the book were the correct ones. I'm also indebted to production editor Mike Henry and the two technical editors, Doug Ellis and Chris Thibodeaux, all of whom made suggestions and corrections that made both the written word and technical content better than I could have produced on my own. Finally, the content of the book was shaped through numerous reviews of the concept before I even signed on to the project. That feedback was instrumental in making sure the book was targeted to the correct audience and covered the proper material.

Although this book, as almost every other, was a team effort, any errors are only mine and so I welcome your e-mail at [e-mail] with corrections and suggestions.

As always, my family deserves most of the credit because they make sacrifices both large and small when I undertake a project like this one. And so to Beth, Laura, and Anna, I can only say thank you and pledge that you won't be the cobbler's family forever.
