Authors Acknowledgments

From Steve Suehring: For these acknowledgements, I decided to look back at the acknowledgements section that I wrote more than 10 years ago for my first book, MySQL Bible . I was curious who, of all of the people I thanked in that book (and there were a lot), should be thanked in this book, 10+ years later. The answer: All of them. They (and you, the reader) have contributed to my ability to continue to write books (and articles, and blog posts, and everything else.) I look forward to continued success together.

From Janet Valade: First, I wish to express my appreciation to the entire open source community. Without those who give their time and talent, there would be no cool PHP and MySQL for me to write about. Furthermore, I never would have learned this software without the lists where people generously spend their time answering foolish questions from beginners.

I want to thank my mother for passing on a writing gene, along with many other things. And my children always for everything.

And, of course, I want to thank the professionals who make it all possible. Without my agent and the people at Wiley Publishing, Inc., this book would not exist. Because they all do their jobs so well, I can contribute my part to this joint project.
