Acknowledgments

I have said it before and I'll say it again: Writing a book may seem like the greatest of solo endeavors, but it requires a large team of people working together to get technical books out the door — and this book is no exception. First and foremost, I would like to thank Jim Minatel of Wrox for giving me the opportunity to write the original ASP.NET book, which then led to this special edition. There is nothing better than getting the opportunity to write about your favorite topic for the world's best publisher!

Besides Jim, I worked with Adaobi Obi Tulton on the first edition and then Lori Cerreto as development editor and Nancy Rapoport as copy editor on this SP1 Edition. Without their efforts, this book would not have happened.

I worked closely with Scott Hanselman and Devin Rader on the original edition of this book, and these guys deserve a lot of thanks. I appreciate your help (and Devin, I appreciate the new appendix for this edition) and advice throughout the process. Thanks guys!

Finally, thanks to my entire family. Book writing is a devil in disguise as it is something that I love to do but at the same time, takes way too much time away from my family. Thanks to my family for putting up with this and for helping me get these books out the door. I love you all.
