Dedication

Special thanks go out to Michelle Newcomb, for allowing me the opportunity to tackle this third edition of a very fun project; development editor Robin Drake, for her dedication and patience in shepherding this project; to copy editor Paula Lowell, for ensuring that all the i’s were dotted and t’s were crossed; to technical editor Vince Averello, for skillfully checking each step and offering valuable input along the way; and finally to the production team at Pearson, for their talents in creating such a helpful, much-needed, and incredibly good-looking book. Also, special thanks to all my Facebook friends (you know who you are) and their avid interest in helping with this project. Finally, extra-special thanks to my loveable cohort, Shrek (a.k.a. Matty), for his constant support and irrepressible humor.
