Acknowledgments

Thanks to Agatha Kim for inviting me on this project. I truly enjoy working on the Mastering series books with Agatha and her team. The editors are top-notch and provide consistently helpful advice. I also appreciated all of the excellent suggestions provided by the technical editor, Johan Arwidmark, even if we didn't have room for all of them.

I would like to thank my wife, Miranda, and kids, Colin and Caitlin, for their support while I was working on the chapters for this book. I would also like to thank Rhonda Layfield for providing me with this opportunity, and a special thanks to Johan Arwidmark and Mikael Nystrom for doing the technical review. I would also like to thank Candace English, Agatha Kim, Christine O'Connor, and other people involved for helping me make some great chapters about deployment.
