Acknowledgments

Writing a book, especially a good one, takes time and a group of solid people. And this one wouldn’t have happened without the great team I got to be a part of. I want to extend a special thank you to:

• Laura Norman, who helped me get back in the book writing game with this title, for her support and guidance along the way.

• Victor Gavenda, for his development editing and deep knowledge of the VQS format, and for making it seem like I have good control over the English language.

• Faraz Kelhini, the tech editor. His feedback and suggestions made for a much better read.

• Scout Festa, for excellent copyediting.

• Tracey Croom and the entire Pearson design team, for making this book look fantastic.

• Shawn Hesketh, a friend and mentor who taught me all the good things I know about screencasts.

• Brian Richards, for helping me work though some of the more advanced topics in this book.

• My friends and family, for the support and encouragement throughout the writing process.

• Everyone who has contributed by letting me use a screenshot, image, or resource that they created.

• To TT at my local Starbucks. He always saw me coming and had my order ready.

• To you, the readers. Thank you for allowing me to contribute to your learning journey.

• Finally, to Elizabeth Castro for creating this title, and to Bruce Hyslop for passing me the torch.
