Acknowledgments
Nurturing a project from the back of a paper napkin through to a book on a shelf has been an incredible adventure, and it makes this book project very special to me. My family and friends have stood by me yet again and let me do what I do. The comfort you special people provide to me cannot be measured with any tool known to (wo)mankind—thank you!
The team behind the writer includes family, friends, colleagues, and even the occasional kind stranger. The Sybex team is top notch: Richard Mills bought into my excitement early on, Tom Cirtin did a great job of keeping me calm and focused most of the time, Kylie Johnston pushed hard for the best possible material every step of the way, and Linda Recktenwald dotted all the I ’s and crossed all the T ’s with charm, grace, and wit. Without them, there would not be a book. Matt Tagliaferri contributed original material and deadline-saving expertise—thank you! Acey Bunch waded through thousands of bytes of our written material, and his technical edits helped fine-tune the message. My co-author, Gord Maric, shared my excitement early on and worked hard in pursuit of the goal.
I am forever indebted to my Dad, who can never properly be thanked for being the guy who did all things I couldn’t do while this book was gestating and entering the world, including those oh-so-necessary life tasks like taking the garbage out, fixing the pool, whacking away at the lawn, and keeping Princess company. While you did not read a word, you made every word possible.

I want to thank Tom Cirtin, Kylie Johnston, and everyone at Sybex for all their help with this project. I would like to thank Cate McCoy, my co-author, for involving me in this project. Special thanks go to Tom Cirtin for his patience and creativity in dealing with time pressures when chapters took longer than anticipated and vendors changed their software unannounced. Special thanks also go to Acey Bunch for his technical editing and help with the RAS chapters and to Matt Tagliaferri for coming in at the eleventh hour and assisting with the .NET and ASP chapters. And Linda Recktenwald for her editing and amazing attention to detail in finding inconsistencies in the chapters.
I want to thank Nancy, my partner in life, for her patience with this project and reading and editing my raw material.
