ASP.NET 3.5 Website Programming: Problem-Design-Solution

Acknowledgments

I am so fortunate to have a great collection of friends and family who have been very supportive over the years. As my .NET experience and knowledge have matured I have been blessed with forming some great relationships in the community. I have to thank everyone who has been supportive in the Triangle .Net User Group over the years. Deciding one night what the group was ultimately changed my career so much for the positive. I encourage each and every reader of this book to seek out any user group in his area.

With that said, there are some specific people to thank. First, Tom, who has been a great friend to me both professionally and personally, and who is always excited when good things happen for me. Beth, you really helped me keep my composure and perspective in the past year with so many things coming at me.

I want to thank all the Microsoft team members with whom I have formed relationships over the last few years. You all have been so helpful to me and anyone else who asked.

Finally, I thank the staff at Wiley for offering me this opportunity. Nothing of this magnitude is without challenges and they have been helpful in solving the many challenges that arose. Producing a book is no small task, but ultimately rewarding. It is always an honor to have the opportunity to share knowledge and experience about something you love with others on the scale possible with a book like this. I know I have learned a lot and I hope to keep learning and sharing.
