Acknowledgments

Thanks to all those at Sybex that continue to allow me to do what I enjoy most—impart knowledge to others. Thanks to Jeff Kellum, Kathryn Duggan, Rachel McConlogue, and Stephen Charles Rea for professional juggling services adequately rendered. To my parents, Dave and Sue, thanks for your love and consistent support. To my sister Sharon and nephew Wesley, it's great seeing you so often. To Mark, I have been and always shall be your friend. And finally, as always, to Elvis—my son, Xzavier Slayde, spends hours talking to you through refrigerator magnets of your likeness!
