Acknowledgments
There’s no way I could have finished this book without my tre-
mendously strong support system. At the top of that system is
my amazing wife Brenna. She has the patience of a saint and is wise
beyond her years. It’s with her support and help that I was able to
have the time to take on this project. Alongside her, tugging on her
pants are my little crumb-snatchers, Lincoln and Nora. Even though
they are both in diapers, their helpfulness was manifested in their
cuteness and willingness to let me write.
It was a great pleasure to work with the wonderful group of profes-
sionals at Sybex. In particular, I would like to thank developmental
editor Stef Jones; production editor Angela Smith; editorial manager Pete
Gaughan; copyeditor Liz Welch; and the compositors at Happenstance
Type-O-Rama. I would also like to thank my good friend and technical
editor, Doug Fidler, who was kind enough to stand with me and bear
the pain of writing about software that was still being developed. And
I would like to give an extra special thanks to my acquisitions editor,
Agatha Kim, who was a real treat to work with and was wonderful in
coaching me along the way.
I would be remiss if I didn’t thank my wonderful friends and cowork-
ers at Microsoft. A big thanks goes out to the Exchange community and
members of the product group who answered my questions and gave
me great insight. I would also like to thank my many teachers, mentors,
and encouraging friends: Scott Miller, Dan Quintiliano, Abe Berlas,
Jim McBee, Andy Baratta, Jim Beasey, Jeff McMullen, Mike Hall,
Jamie McClellan, Jim Hale, and many others.
And finally, I would like to give a special thanks to my wonderful
friends and family at Grace Baptist Church in Bowie, MD, who offered
their prayers and encouragement for me throughout this process. The
Godly direction given by my pastors and teachers has been invaluable:
Steve Lane, Dr. George Harton, Mark Tanious, and Dr. Tom Salem.
There’s no group of people more loving and caring than those at Grace.
