Acknowledgments

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the following people for their support and encouragement in my writing of this book:

Graham John Garrett—my father, who introduced me to computer programming on his first Commodore 64 8-bit home computer. Had he not done so, perhaps I would never have ended up in the computer business.

Jessica Kaplan—my sweetheart, who tirelessly encouraged me to write this book, fed and watered me during some of the long chapters, and provided me with endless emotional support when I became fatigued.

Daniel Cohen-Dumani—my boss and esteemed colleague at Portal Solutions, who is both the technical reviewer of this book and my inspiration in the field of SharePoint.

All my colleagues at Portal Solutions, many of whom suffered no embarrassment in asking for a plug in my book—this is for you—and for their shared knowledge of SharePoint.

My children, Simon and Bella—for being you and for loving Daddy unconditionally.
