Acknowledgements

As always, I'm merely the front-man for a great number of people lending their efforts to bring this book into realityall of whom I'd like to thank. I sincerely appreciate the work of my technical editor, Brian Baxter, who has done an absolutely fantastic job. I feel very lucky to have gotten the chance to work with Brian and I hope I will again soon. All the Macromedia Press folks involved in this effort have been top-notch and professional, all the way through; special thanks to Angela Kozlowski, Robin Drake, Nancy Sixsmith, and Carol Henry for the constant encouragement and enthusiasm.

I'm also deeply indebted to the folks on the Macromedia team, without whom I'd have nothing to write about. I have a very clear picture of Erik Larson sitting down with me and giving me a first, very exciting peek at Contribute; Erik has been a terrific team leader and a great friend. Many people lent tremendous support to me, including Lawson Hancock, Steven Johnson, and many others. Finally, a big tip of the Web developer's color wheel to Mike Hazard, who was kind enough to answer numerous questions about his inspirational work with Contribute and the University of Rochester Medical Center.
