Acknowledgments

My sincere thanks to Kate Shoup for her patience, her eagle eye for detail, and her amazing ability to transform my words into something approaching readable. Thanks also to Trevor Boden and Phill Naylor for wading through my exercises and reining me in when needed. Thanks, too, to the rest of the team at Cengage Learning for their efforts in making this possible. And of course, I don’t want to forget all those at Avid who still passionately believe in this amazing software. Finally, thanks to Steven Black for providing me with some wonderful footage of Singapore, my adopted city, and to Brian Barnhart and Thomas Graham for their Agent Zero footage.
