Special thanks go out to Executive Publisher Barry Pruett and Laura Sinise for allowing me the opportunity to tackle this exciting project; to project editor Martin V. Minner for his dedication and patience in shepherding this project from start to finish; to copy editor Gwenette Gaddis for ensuring that all the i's were dotted and t's were crossed; to technical editor Geoff Coryell for skillfully checking each step and offering valuable input along the way; and finally to the production team at Wiley for their talents in creating such a monumental book. Lastly, extra special thanks to my own Shrek, Matty Gunter, for keeping the swamp shack running while I concentrated on this project.

We wish to thank Laura Sinise, Martin V. Minner, and the rest of the editorial team at Wiley for their guidance and support. Thank you to Sherry Kinkoph Gunter for the opportunity to work together. Special thanks to our family and friends for everything.
