Acknowledgments

First of all, thanks to Autodesk for letting me be a part of the family and for making such great software to write about.

Thanks to Stephanie McComb for getting this book out of the gate for a second edition and for working with me on some very demanding schedules. Tom Richardson was the technical editor for this and all the other InfraWorks books, and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have when it comes to providing a thorough and insightful technical working over. And last but certainly not least, thanks to Kim Wimpsett and Kathy Grider-Carlyle for your tireless efforts correcting my writing and making it so much better.

I say it in every book, and it's true every time: my family takes the brunt of the condition that is book writing. I hope that all of the time and effort is worth it and that this book, like the others, will serve as an example of quality work to my children and a source of pride for my wife.
