Acknowledgments

Thanks to our colleagues at Sams Publishing, whose patience and persistence made this book possible.

Thanks also to my family who have supported me during the writing of this book. My son John now has his own keyboard and mouse—the computer will come in a few years!

My wife Bernice has the patience of a saint, allowing me to lock myself away when I needed to, and being helpful when I’ve hit writer’s block (and yes, it does happen!)

Finally, thanks to God who makes all things possible, including this book.

—Andrew Hudson

Thanks to Andrew, Shelley, Damon, Seth, Dallas, Mum and Dad, my wife, Ildiko; and, of course, God, who made all this possible. No book this big could be done without a lot of work from a dedicated team!
