The Definitive Guide to Grails, Second Edition

Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I'd like to thank my wife, Birjinia, for her beauty, wisdom, and continued love and support. Over the last few years you have given me your total support and made sacrifices to the cause that I will value forever. Te quiero.

Also, thanks to everyone at Apress that I have worked with from Steve Anglin and Tom Welsh to the people on the production team such as Nina Goldschlager and Kim Wimpsett (my copy editors), Laura Cheu (production editor), and, in particular, Kylie Johnston (project manager) for keeping the whole thing on track. ...
