Acknowledgments

I would like to thank the staff at Wrox for giving me the opportunity to write my first book. Also my thanks go out to them for their patience along the way. The process of writing is much more difficult and time consuming that I imagined when I started this project. Many thanks to my wife, who put up with my 60 hour weeks turning into 80 hour weeks as I fought to cross the finish line with this project. Finally, I would like to thank my co-author Martin, who stepped in at the last minute and put forth an incredible amount of effort to bring this project to a successful close.

I would like to thank my wife, Patricia, for her usual support when I am working on these books. People always say it would not be possible without that support, in my case that is more than true.
