Acknowledgments

I would like to thank my wife, Jennifer, for being supportive and putting up with the odd hours getting this book finished. To Elias Mereb and Brian Svidergol, thank you for the years of friendship, conferences, dinners, and everything else. And to my friends and colleagues Ed Gale, Joshua Waddell, and Aaron Lines, thank you for your friendship, mentorship, and advice the last couple of years. Finally, to all the IT professionals and readers of this book, thank you for taking the time to read, explore, learn, test, and “play around” with these technologies while you are learning. Keep it up, and good luck!
