Acknowledgments

I would like to first thank my good friend Mickey for cowriting and collaborating on the book. (May it be the first of many!) Your knowledge, honesty, and dedication are truly inspiring. A special thanks also goes out to Erik Gunvaldson for his technical knowledge and experience. This book would not be possible without the hard work of my editors—Bob Elliott (thanks for your ongoing support), Sydney Jones (my development editor who made the experience of writing the book an absolute joy), and the rest of the staff at Wiley Publishing. I would also like to acknowledge the technical support and encouragement from the great staff at Microsoft—Rob Caron, Tom Patton, Mario Rodriguez, Noah Coad, Ed Hickey, Sam Guckenheimer, and countless others. My fellow VSTS MVPs Joe Sango and Marcel de Vries provided excellent technical edits for the book. And lastly, thanks to my family, my good friend Chris Dufour, and last but not least my wife Miho—for your encouragement and support throughout the writing of the book.

Thank you to Jean-Luc David, for giving me this chance to write this book with him, putting up with all of my endless late-night questions, and making this a great experience. You are an incredible author and a great friend. Next, to all those people who helped tech edit this book: Buck Hodges, Marcel deVries, Mario Rodriguez, Joe Sango, as well as anyone else I may have overlooked, thanks for all of your great feedback that has helped make this a better product. ...
