Acknowledgments

I would like to thank Rebecca McKay, project editor at Microsoft Press, for her encouragement and understanding, and Peter Whitmer, project manager at nSight, Inc., for his contributions.

I would also like to thank my friends Noah Edelstein, for his perspectives, and being one of the funniest people I know; and Christopher Konrad, for his encouragement, and being one of the craziest people I know. And to Cynthia, for the balance she gave to me.
