Acknowledgments

The Joomla! development community is friendly, and experienced developers routinely take time to help newcomers. This book would not have been possible without the help of many people in that community who answered questions and helped to fill in the numerous gaps in my knowledge. I want to especially thank the people who read chapters and provided invaluable feedback: Andrea Tarr, Elin Waring, Omar Ramos, and Sam Moffatt. Finally, I want to thank my wife, Deb, whose support and encouragement (and occasional homemade fudge) kept me going.
