Acknowledgments
Thank you to my wife Jackie, my son Tom, and my daughter Tami who put up with my crazy work schedule and my mood swings as I juggled work, writing, and my family life (not always very successfully). Their patience and steadfast support keep me going. Thank you for standing by me through the challenges.
Sara Shlaer was indispensable. She held my hand through the first book, UML Weekend Crash Course, showing me the ropes and showing me how little I knew (know) about writing well. UML Bible was a much bigger undertaking, and once again Sara exemplified professionalism, talent, and patience. I sincerely appreciate the tremendous effort Sara made to keep me on track despite the myriad specification changes, schedule revisions, and missed deadlines. She always made an effort to keep our working relationship humane, balancing our humanity and our obligations with grace and compassion. I could not have done this book without her.
Bob Rhodes labored diligently to understand my often cryptic text and sort out what I really meant to say (or so he hoped I meant to say), always giving me the benefit of the doubt, deserved or not. Thank you very much, Bob, for hanging in there through all the changes to the specification and the hundreds of detailed diagrams used to illustrate this book.
