Acknowledgments

I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO THANK my coauthor, Keith Brown, for agreeing to write Chapters 5 and 7 (Security and Diagnostics), and for completing his chapters in such a timely fashion. Thanks go to my family for understanding when I needed time to write. Thanks to Scott Guthrie for agreeing to write the Foreword, as well as taking the time to answer many of the questions Keith and I came up with as we researched topics for the book. Thanks also go to all the members of the ASP.NET team for building such a compelling product, and specifically to Eric Deily and Stefan Schackow for answering questions when we had them. Thanks to MSDN Magazine for granting permission to use material in this book that was previously published in articles I wrote. Thanks to my colleagues at Pluralsight for their feedback, including Ian Griffiths, Matt Milner, and Dan Sullivan. Thanks also to my official reviewers, Justin Burtch, Joseph Flanigan, Patrick Hynds, Ron Petrusha, and John Timney, for such careful reading and helpful feedback. Finally, thanks to my editor, Joan Murray, and Addison-Wesley for coordinating all aspects of this project.

I've worked with Fritz for the last ten years , and during that time he's become a close friend and business partner. I was honored when he invited me to write a couple of chapters for this book. I refer to his first volume regularly; my copy is rather dog-eared by now! And a warm thanks to the folks at Addison-Wesley for making this all possible.
