ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

For a number of years I've kept a personal blog called Simplicity Rules where I've covered ways to raise productivity and decrease stress at the same time. From that frame of reference, I am now able to report that there is no simple way to write a book. However, the following people and organizations made it a whole lot easier for me than it might have been.

My wife, Jenny. You supported me in many ways, including one that I didn't expect: You were always there to encourage me to write the "bockety first draft" of a chapter. Somehow, you knew I'd be able to eventually turn it into something worth reading.

The entire staff of No Starch Press. If there's anybody that makes creating books look easy, it's you guys. Bill Pollock, thanks ...
