Acknowledgments

There is no way I could have written this Short Cut without the support of some extremely awesome people.

I would like to thank Ezra Zygmuntowicz for his help, guidance, and for providing me with my first chance to get published.

Thanks to Curt Hibbs and Michael Loukides for giving me the chance to write this Short Cut.

Thanks to Zed Shaw, for chewing me out when I deserved it, and for helping me when I didn't. Oh, and also for creating Mongrel.

Thanks to David Heinemeier Hansson, for Rails, which convinced me to keep programming instead of quitting in despair.

Thanks to Mike, Adam, and Chris for keeping me going.

Thanks to Bruce Tate for introducing me to Rails.

Special thanks to my family, and to my wife Carissa, for putting up with my work schedule and for all of her support.
