Acknowledgments

Writing a book is not a one-person task, and without the guidance from the editors and technical reviewers at Sams, there is no way I could have written this book. I would like to thank Neil Rowe, my acquisitions editor for the second time and survivor of driving with me through the Georgia Dome in a utility cart.

I would also like to thank my friends and family who have supported my efforts and have been most understanding of the countless hours required to write such a book. And last but not least is my friend Bob Powell, who asked me to co-author with him in my first writing venture. Oh, be sure to buy his books too.
