I dedicate this book to my wonderful wife, Rosemary. Im not sure I understand how or why you put up with me, and the writing of yet another book. Words cannot express my appreciation. I love you a lot!

Steve

I would like to dedicate this book to my beautiful wife, Jill. Just today she reminded me that after the last book I told her to never let me write another book, and here we are. I would not have been able to hold it together long enough to finish this book without her support. Thanks, babe, I love you.

Todd

This book is dedicated to Baby Luke. Howdy. Funny enough, you are nine months old as I write these words. I have doubts that by the time you are old enough to read this book that paper books will even exist anymore. Either way, take a look at this old relic and smile and know all things are possible with your friend hard work. Dad got a D- in English and yet this is book number six for him. You and your brother better get better grades than me. Your mother and I love you.

TODD KLINDT has been a professional computer nerd for nearly 20 years, specializing in SharePoint for the last 10 years. His love affair with SharePoint began one slow day at the office when he discovered SharePoint Team Services 1.0 on the Office XP CD that was holding up his coffee cup, and he decided to take it for a spin. The rest is history. Since then, he has had the pleasure of working with SharePoint farms both large and small. In 2006 he was honored to be awarded the MVP award from Microsoft for Windows SharePoint Services, and he has written several books and magazine articles on SharePoint. Todd has presented sessions on SharePoint at many major conferences both in the United States as well as Europe and Asia, and does the user group circuit, SharePoint Saturday events, and the occasional childrens birthday party as well. He chronicles his SharePoint adventures on his blog, www.toddklindt.com/blog . Because his chosen career as a Hollywood stuntman didnt pan out, he is currently working his dream job as a SharePoint consultant at Rackspace, where he spends his days fixing broken SharePoint environments and bringing new SharePoint environments into the world, along with the occasional nap at his desk. If youre bored, you can follow him on Twitter @toddklindt.

SHANE YOUNG is just your average SharePoint nerd who has been doing nothing but SharePoint for a long time now. Microsoft has been kind enough to award him MVP status for eight years running now, so you know he is the outspoken type. Thankfully, his newest employer, Rackspace, appreciates that about him. If you are wondering what happened to SharePoint911, dont worry; the band is still together, we are just flying the Rackspace flag these days, bringing fanatical SharePoint to the open cloud. You can contact Shane on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter (@ShanesCows), via e-mail (). Shane lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, with his wife, Nicola, his two sons, Grant and Luke, and their two dogs.
