Acknowledgments

Never let authors tell you that they wrote their books all by themselves. Creating a book out of an author's gibberish takes a lot of work from a lot of people with a lot of different skills. Some crack the whip and others are artisans. They all deserve credit.

First I'd like to thank my acquisitions editor, Alex Blanton. Alex holds up well under pressure, pushing me to get things done without breaking my will to do things right. The result is the right mix of quality and timeliness. The folks who I had the most contact with were Jenny Benson and Kristen Weatherby, though. They were this book's project editors with the responsibility of managing the overall process. Kristen worked on the early stages of this book, getting the whole project moving forward, and Jenny had the unenviable job of getting it finished. I bow to both of them and chant, "I'm not worthy."

A number of other people have my admiration as well. Nancy Depper was this book's copy editor, correcting my brutal use of the language. Lisa Van Every proofed the book's contents, and Keith Bednarczuk was the book's technical editor. I think this book's layout looks great, and the credit goes to RJ Cadranell and Liz Clark. Finally, Joyce Cox and Joan Preppernau provide their project management skills. Thank you one and all.
