Acknowledgments

Kim Wimpsett was the development editor of this, the newest book in the Sybex CompTIA series. Thank you, Kim, for working so hard on this book with me.

Jeff Kellum is instrumental to my success in the Cisco world and is my acquisitions editor for this new CompTIA Network+ book. Jeff, thanks for your guidance and continued patience with all the books we’ve published together!

In addition, Christine O’Connor was an excellent production editor, and she worked really hard to get the book done as quickly as possible, without missing the small mistakes that are so easy to overlook. I am always very pleased when I hear that she will be working with me on a new project. Judy Flynn was my copy editor, and she was patient, helpful, and detailed but yet worked extremely hard to get this book on the shelf as quickly as possible, and for that I thank her tremendously.

Troy McMillian literally hashed and rehashed each topic in this guide with me at all hours of the day and night, scrutinizing the material until we both agreed it was verifiably solid. Thank you, Troy, yet once again!
