Id like to thank Christian Hur for working with me on this project. We had a great experience and worked well together. Christian made this large project a pleasure, and I greatly appreciate the knowledge, insight, experience, and effort Christian put forth. Thank you also to Anne Grubb, MC Press Book Editor.

Id also like to thank my family for their support. A special thanks to Paul for his love and patience. Writing this book would not have been possible without the support my family provided. This effort is dedicated in loving memory of my beloved nephew Brent. We miss him so, and he will always live on in our memories. Brent was known to say the skys the limit. These words are so true; theyre definitely inspirational words to live by. Dont hesitate to reach for the sky.

My hope is that this book inspires experienced business developers to feel comfortable learning Web skills and those new to development to dive in and learn how to get down to business with Web tools. Ive been fortunate to have a career that I enjoy and am very passionate about. I hope this book inspires others to realize the same career satisfaction.
