What began as a quick two-month writing job turned into a formidable six-month challenge.

On the surface, tackling this book seemed deceptively simple: come up with 100 tips, split the writing with a friend, cash the check. Little did we know the amount of work, research, testing, and learning it would actually require.

On that note, our thanks go out to the many smart folks we called upon when checking our facts and scratching our heads. Among them, Bob Levine (our go-to Windows guy), Mordy Golding (Illustrator savant), and most notably our web life-saver Chris Converse, who steered us through the turbulent waters of Dreamweaver and Flash bruised but intact, and a wee bit smarter.

We also thank Rebecca Gulick and Victor Gavenda at Peachpit and Adobe Press for making this project happen. To Kim Saccio-Kent, our Developmental Editor, for pushing us to go deeper and do better. To our Technical Editor, Pierre Granier, for making sure what we wrote actually worked, and to Hilal Sala for turning this all into a real book.

Misery loves—and needs—company. Because of that, we each thank our respective bright, witty, and devastatingly good-looking co-author (Why, thank you! No... thank you!).

And last, another round of applause for our friend Noha Edell of Adobe Systems, whose continued support we cherish.
