Acknowledgments

First and foremost I want to thank God for giving me the wisdom and knowledge to share with others and for the many talents that he has blessed me with. I would also like to thank Katie Mohr for giving me the opportunity to write this book and Sara Shlaer and Sydney Jones for their hard work in editing. Also thanks to all the other people at Wiley who work so hard to bring this book to market. I'd be remiss if I didn't thank my good friend and co-author Bryan Newsome; thanks for your hard work and dedication.

So many people put so much effort into publishing this work. Thank you all; this would not be possible without your hard work and dedication. Special thanks to Katie Mohr, Sara Shlaer, Sydney Jones, and Mark Lavoie for making my work readable and technically sound. It was a pleasure to work with you all over the past months. Thank you Thearon; you were a terrific mentor for me and the reason I ever had the opportunity to write.
