We'd like to mention the people who helped us create this book and make it what it is. First, we'd like to thank David White for his amazing work smoothing out our style and cajoling it into readable English. We know you had a challenging task. We can't forget the support from Jonathan Hassell for our way into the Apress world, as well as the continuing help from Anne Collett. Thanks to our technical reviewer, Frank, who had a hard task getting our samples running within such a complex environment. His work greatly improved the quality of this book.

Last but not least, we'd like to thank our families and friends for understanding when we had to go back to the computer again and again to continue writing or installing SharePoint, from the first beta to the final release candidate.
