Acknowledgments

First, I would like to thank my beautiful wife, Maytinee, for her untiring love and support while I wrote this book. I would also like to thank my children, Jennifer Mayo, Joseph Mayo, and Kamonchon Ahantric.

Thanks to Tony Gravagno, Technical Editor, whose professional insight and technical prowess were absolutely invaluable.

Thanks to the people at Sams who worked with me as a team to make this book happen: Loretta Yates (Acquisitions Editor), Songlin Qiu (Development Editor), Margaret Berson (Copy Editor), Rebecca Lansberry (Project Editor), and all of the other great people at Sams who contributed.

I would like to thank the people at NSA Geotechnical Services for giving me my first C# programming job and supporting all my work.
