9 For my wife, Bridget Your patience, love, and support have made everything I have, and everything I am, possible. Thanks for believing in me Chris Leiter I dedicate my contribution of this book to my dad, Reginald Kaaikaula Wood, who lost his battle with cancer while I was writing this book. He was a great encouragement and proud that his son was a published author even though he said, I don t understand a darn word of it. My dad left an amazing legacy and he will be missed. Dan Wood I dedicate this book to my daughter, Rachel. Watching you grow and re-experiencing the beauty and wonder of the world through your eyes, is and has been the greatest joy in my life. So few years to give you wings to fly. I love you. Albert Boettger I would like to dedicate this accomplishment to my daughter, Alina. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I love you very much. Michael Cierkowski

15 Acknowledgments First and foremost, I thank my wife, Bridget, for once again supporting and encouraging me through this process. It ll be nice to have our evenings back. Thanks also to Dan Wood, for letting me take the reins on this one. I m really glad that you were able to stay on as a Contributing Author. Michael Cierkowski and Albert Boettger also deserve my gratitude for stepping up to the plate and co-authoring this book. Both of you are absolutely brilliant, and I m lucky to know you. I also thank Lance Baldwin, one of the best people I ve had the privilege of working for (twice!), and Paul Turley, who helped Dan and me get introduced to Wiley. And speaking of Wiley, I must also thank Bob Elliott for his support on this project and faith that I could pull it all together; Maureen Spears for having the patience of a saint; and Jim Adams, who never let anything get by him (and provided a huge contribution to Chapter 17!). There are several other people whom I would like to thank for helping me in one way or another during the process of creating this book. They include (in no particular order) Jeff Sparks, for constantly feeding my ego; Rick Kinglsan, for setting the bar and letting me raise it; D.J. Norton, for being as much of a gadget geek as I am; Stephanie Gulick, for being so supportive; everyone at Hitachi Consulting; and, of course, the Banz and Leiter families, who put up with me working through yet another holiday season. Chris Leiter A great deal of thanks to Chris Leiter for taking over this book and being an outstanding Project Lead. Special thanks to all the wonderful people at Wrox for their patience for missed deadlines and support when my dad was ill. Lastly, but most importantly, my gratitude and undying love goes to my beautiful wife, Sarah, who supported me through yet another book project and expressed her pride and love while spending many nights and weekends without me. Thank you, my love. Dan Wood A special thanks to Chris Leiter for convincing me to join the team and introducing me to Wiley Publishing. You were right. Thank you to Jeff Sparks for being a friend and mentor, and for always pushing me to explore and master new technologies. Your opinions and insights were invaluable. Thanks to everyone at Wiley Publishing who helped to make this book a reality, and especially to Bob Elliot for all his hard work. Thanks, Maureen, for keeping us all on schedule and answering all of our questions (kind of like herding cats), and to Jim for his excellent technical editing. To my loving wife, Elise, and beautiful daughter, Rachel, thank you for your love, patience, and understanding. You mean more to me than words can convey. Albert C. Boettger First, I thank both Dan and Chris for considering me for this project. It has been a wonderful experience working with you, and I hope we can do it again sometime. I also thank everyone at Wrox for making the entire process a fairly painless affair. And finally, I thank my wife, Stacy, for dealing with many nights of neglect while I worked on my many projects. I love you more each and every day. A task that I didn t think was possible. Michael Cierkowski
