Acknowledgments


I would like to thank the many people who have contributed to this book. I am especially grateful to my wife, Alice, and my children, Emily and Michael, for their support. Janet would like to thank her daughter Kate for her patience and smiles.

We would both still be half asleep if not for the continuous supply of marvelous macchiatos and luscious lattes made by the crew at our local Starbucks: Corey, Jo, Bert, Charlotte, Casey, Scott, Jay, Travis, and Z.

I have taught much of this material in one form or another to thousands of workshop participants. The discussion from these workshops has been tremendously helpful in refining these ideas. Thanks to all of the participants in these many workshops, and to the many more I hope to meet in the future.

This book has benefited from early reviews by some very talented and experienced individuals. I appreciate the feedback of the following people (company affiliations are included where allowed): Richard Campbell, Chris Corrado, Charles Erickson (VP of Development, WhisperWire), Stephen Fulcher (Principal, DeveloperLabs), Lynn Keele, Ruth Leuzinger (Senior IT Architect, Zurich Insurance Company, Switzerland), Don Pipkin, Ruben Prieto-Diaz, Carlos Recalde (Executive Director of Technology “ Americas Region, KPMG. LLP), Stuart Sands (a Director of Technology Solutions at a major brokerage firm), and David L. Smith.

It has been great working with the staff at Addison-Wesley: PeterGordon, Amy Fleischer, John Fuller, Bernard Gaffney, Karin Hansen, and unknown others. I am grateful for the careful attention of my copy editor, Stephanie Hiebert. After removing my many dangling modifiers, this book was greatly improved. (I know, I know . . . "Her removal of my many dangling modifiers greatly improved this book!")

Thanks to all of you.
