AcknowledgmentsI'd like to thank everyone at Sams for their help with this book, and for the opportunity to write it. In particular, Betsy Brown got this edition started and kept it moving. Songlin Qiu managed the development of the book. Project editor Matt Purcell handled the editing process, and the copy editor, Jessica McCarty, saved me from many embarrassing errors. The technical reviewer, Jim O'Donnell, painstakingly tested the scripts and helped keep the writing grounded in reality. I am grateful to everyone involved with previous editions of this book, including Scott Meyers, David Mayhew, Sean Medlock, Susan Hobbs, Michelle Wyner, Jeff Schultz, Amy Patton, George Nedeff, and Phil Karras. I'd also like to thank Neil Salkind and the rest of the team at Studio B for their help throughout this project. Finally, personal thanks go to my wife, Laura; my parents, Gary and Susan Moncur; the rest of the family; and my friends, particularly Chuck Perkins, Matt Strebe, Cory Storm, Robert Parsons, Dylan Winslow, Ray Jones, Tyson Jensen, Curt Siffert, Richard Easlick, and Henry J. Tillman. I couldn't have done it without your support.
