Author’s Acknowledgments
Thank you to the entire Wiley team for helping me complete another book — you are all very friendly and helpful. Special thanks go to Aaron Black and Jade Williams, who gave me their undivided attention when I needed it.
Thank you to Technical Editor Vince Averello for doing a thorough and detailed job. Thanks to Copy Editor Marylouise Wiack for being thorough. I write like an engineer and Marylouise gave my writing eloquence with her recommendations.
Special thanks to my sweetheart and wife, Shane, who kept things together while I took the time to write this book — it would have been difficult to do it without her help and support.
These people had a direct influence on this book, but thank you also to my friends who took an interest in this book and listened to me talk about it while I wrote it.
