Acknowledgments

Imar Spaanjaars

Writing a book like this one is definitely not a solo project. During development of this book I got a lot of support from many people who helped me to stay focused and get inspiration. I would like to give all of you that helped a big thanks! While I can’t possibly thank all of you here personally, there are a few people I’d like to thank in particular.

First of all I’d like to thank the people at Wiley for working with me on this project, with Brian Herrmann in particular for his efforts during the editorial process.

I would also like to thank Anne Ward for helping me with the designs of some of the applications featured in this book.

A big thanks goes out to the people at Design IT for their participation in my “hallway usability tests” that I randomly brought up in the office. Thanks guys! It’s always good to have a few extra sets of eyes.

My appreciation also goes out to my two good friends René and Joost for their friendship. Looking forward to spending more time with you again.

Last but certainly not least, I would like to thank my girlfriend Fleur for her support during this project. I know it wasn’t always fun when I disappeared in my home office for hours, but you were a great supporter and motivator nonetheless.

Imar Spaanjaars contributed Chapters 5, 6, and 8–12 to this book.

Acknowledgments

Paul Wilton

I’d like to say a very big thank you to Brian Herrmann, who has been a great editor to work with and has done amazing work on the book. He manages to maintain professionalism and sense of humor even when faced with another of my “just a few more days and I’ll get the chapter to you” e-mails!

Thanks also to Jim Minatel for making this book happen, and also his support in what has for me been a challenging and difficult year.

Many thanks to everyone who has supported and encouraged me over the many years of writing books. Your help will always be remembered.

Finally, pats and treats to my German Shepherd Katie, who does an excellent job warding off disturbances from door-to-door salespeople.

Paul Wilton contributed Chapter 1 to this book.

Shawn Livermore

I thank my gorgeous wife Shantell, who is a truly beautiful and caring person, and has always encouraged me to shoot higher. Your love has changed my life. Thanks for supporting me through the long hours and boring computer nerd conversations. I owe you a pair of Gucci shoes. And of course, to my daughter Elexzandreia, who is a gift from heaven. You have taught me so much about life and have made me want to be a better dad. I love you “134,000.”

Shawn Livermore contributed the Introduction and Chapters 2–4 and 7 to this book.
