Author’s Acknowledgments
I want to thank my wife, Kim, and daughters Grace and Ella, for being patient, once more, with a somewhat absentee and absent-minded husband and father; my sister Patricia, and my in-laws, Gord and Carole, for their unwavering support; at Wiley, acquisitions editor Aaron Black, project editor Sarah Hellert, copy editor Scott Tullis, and technical editor Donna Baker were so helpful bringing me up to speed and then so patient when schedules were bent; my agent, Carole Jelen, who finds me wonderful projects like this; my clients and students over the years, who have helped me hone explanations and discover new ones; and finally, to the tens of thousands of active WordPress users who share their knowledge, produce amazing software, and have a lot of fun doing it.
