Author’s Acknowledgments

This book owes a lot to many hard-working people at Wiley Publishing in Indiana. I would like once again to thank Steve Hayes for his good advice, his encouragement, and the opportunity to write another For Dummies book.

Susan Christophersen knows the editing craft as well as any editor I have ever worked with. It was a pleasure — once again — to work with her.

Technical editor Joyce Nielsen made sure that all the explanations in this book are indeed accurate, and I would like to thank her for her excellent work and suggestions for improving this book. I would also like to thank Rich Tennant for the witty cartoons you will find on the pages of this book, and Ty Koontz for writing the index.

These people at the Wiley offices in Indianapolis gave their all to this book, and I want to acknowledge them by name:

Claudia Bell, Amanda Foxworth, John Greenough, Joyce Haughey, Steve Hayes, Jodi Jensen, Stephanie D. Jumper, Jessica Kramer, Barbara Moore, Barry Offringa, Lynsey Osborn, Heather Ryan, Erin Smith, Ryan Steffen, Ronald Terry, Laura VanWinkle, Erin Zeltner

Finally, I owe my family — Sofia, Henry, and Addie — a debt for tolerating my vampire-like working hours and eerie demeanor at the breakfast table. How will I ever repay you?
