Beginning ASP.NET Security

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

CLICHÉD THOUGH IT IS, there are too many people to thank individually. I would like to specifically acknowledge the help and inspiration of two fellow Microsoft MVPs — Dominick Baier (who has been my main sounding board) and Alex Smolen (my Technical Editor, who has been there to catch my mistakes and point out what I missed).

I'd also like to thank at those folks in various Microsoft teams who have put up with my questions, queries, and misunderstandings with good humor over the years, and during the writing process, especially the UK DPE team, without whose help I doubt I'd learn anywhere near as much.

Part of the confidence to write this book has come from my involvement with the UK developer community, especially the DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper conferences. It would be impossible to thank everyone who has let me speak, or come along to listen, but I would like to give special thanks to community leaders and fellow authors Craig Murphy and Phil Winstanley for their unflinching support of both my speaking engagements and their advice, as well as to Trevor Dwyer, who bullied me into my first very conference presentation all those years ago.
