Acknowledgments

I am always amazed By the amount of work that goes into a publication such as this. It almost seems that organizing and writing the text is the easiest part. The real work is in the technical reviewing, project management, layout, and composition. The Apress team really needs to be acknowledged for the outstanding work done in order to turn this project into a reality. Special appreciation goes to Phil Pledger, Tracy Brown Collins, Kim Wimpsett, Gary Cornell, Kari Brooks, and Jessica Dolcourt.

Phil has done an excellent technical review of this book. I especially thank him for his patience as changes were made in a constant effort to improve the quality of this book. Phil always kept the reader's perspective in mind to ensure that this book provided the highest level of quality in its technical detail.

Tracy's contributions were immeasurable. As project manager, her responsibility was to keep everyone organized and on schedule. Her relentless insistence on deadlines balanced with forgiveness of delays made everything possible. Thanks to Tracy's terrific organization, this book was completed in a timely manner with the highest level of quality.

Kim is probably the best copy editor in the industry. Keeping my grammar in check cannot be an easy task, but she managed it well. She also helped to enforce a consistent chapter structure and significantly added to the overall readability.

Kari and Jessica have been especially helpful in guiding me through the production end of the book, moving from the original Word documents to the final book layout. They also were essential in managing all of the final production materials that add to the polished look to the book.

I would also like to credit Gary and Apress ”I think they are one in the same. Apress is a remarkable publishing company with a high emphasis on quality. Gary's push for quality titles that are written clearly and accurately is terrific. As a buyer and reader of Apress books, I have never been disappointed.

I would also like to thank my family for their support, patience, and inspiration. Anke, Anneke, and Alyssa have always been a constant source of encouragement during the long nights and weekends dedicated to writing. And, finally, a special thanks to my parents, Mike and Mary; to my close family, Scott and Alex; and to the entire Kanalakis and Bruchs families.
