Acknowledgments

This is my third book with Wordware Publishing and I would like to take this opportunity to thank a number of people who have helped to ensure the quality of its contents or who in some way were notable for its creation.

Firstly, thanks go to Tim McEvoy, Beth Kohler, and the rest of Wordware Publishing, and also to all my friends and family who have given me continued support over the years.

I'd also like to thank Mike Bear, Leigh Marshall, Vincent Parker, David Cross, and John Ridout who, though they may not know it, were particularly influential upon the direction my professional life would take.

And, as always, I would like to thank the reader for purchasing this book and taking the time to better yourself and improve your skills. I hope this book will prove useful for that purpose.

Regards,
Alan Thorn
