Acknowledgments

There are always a lot of people to thank: The good people at Apress, including Louise Corrigan, Rita Fernando, and Christine Ricketts. Without them I would not have had the opportunity to work on this. The other authors on this project, John Paxton and John Resig, whose knowledge and experience are in the pages of this book.

Technical Reviewers make good books great, so thanks to Mark Nenadov and Ian Devlin for helping me clarify my intentions. Thanks to my family and friends, who have been very understanding while I disappear for hours at a time to sit in front of a computer for even more time than usual.

—Russ Ferguson

My contributions to this book would not have happened without the faith, patience, endurance, and guidance of Louise Corrigan and Christine Ricketts. They both put up with far more in delays and late chapters than any reasonable human being should have.
