Acknowledgments

Publishing a book takes the collaboration and teamwork of many individuals. Thanks to everyone involved in this process from Waterside Productions and Pearson Education (and thanks to those who purchase this book in their quest for certification). Betsy, thanks for keeping us all on track. To our editorial and technical reviewers, thank you for making sure that our work was sound and on target. Special thanks to my coauthors, Marty and Kirk: You made this project interesting and enjoyable.

First, thank you to the entire team that helped bring this book together. Diane, you specifically were a tremendous help. Thank you. Thanks as well to the many fine employees and customers I work with at RSA. Thank you Spike, Luke, and Moxie, for the moral support provided on those late nights. Finally, I’m thankful for the inspiration provided to me by my three boys (Kobe, Max, and Ollie) and, of course, my incredible wife, Kelly.
