Author’s Acknowledgments
The book you hold in your hands is not only an excellent learning tool, but it is truly beautiful, as well. I am happy to have supplied the text that you will read, but the gorgeous layout comes from Wiley’s crack team of designers and screen artists. The layout of the tasks, the accuracy of the spelling and grammar, and the veracity of the information are all the result of hard work performed by project editor Lynn Northrup and technical editor Namir Shammas. Thanks to both of you for your excellent work. My thanks, as well, to executive editor Jody Lefevere for asking me to write this book.
