There are a lot of people who made this book possible, starting with my wife, Stephanie Gall. Her constant support and encouragement gave me the will to leave a cushy high-paying job to write this book.Special thanks go to Walt Schmidt, my partner on PointBuzz: The Ultimate Guide to Cedar Point (http://www.pointbuzz.com). Through the many discussions we had about our "little" hobby site, my programming advice to Walt was met with the advice that I should write a book.A lot of people I've worked with over the years were crucial to my professional development as an Internet code monkey. Perry Trunick at Penton Media gave me my first job in this role over someone with certifications, all on a gut feeling. Tim Walsh, Bob Eck, Tony D'Avino, Jay Davis, Mike Freeze, Mary Aichlmayr and others had an impact as well. We were involved in really great things during the Internet boom!Katie and Mark Bruno of Website Design and Development in Wadsworth, Ohio, also helped me realize my potential as a teacher of sorts by giving me the opportunity to teach their staff in the ways of .NET.I'd like to thank the people who did the editorial reviews for Addison-Wesley, especially Gordon Barrs, for making sure I was covering the right things.Finally, congratulations to the many people involved with .NET at Microsoft. It's through their hard work and vision that we all have this great platform to work with. Their products have had a profound impact on my professional life and indirectly on the users of my own software and Web sites. I'd specifically like to acknowledge Brian Goldfarb at Microsoft for keeping me in the loop through changes leading up to production for this book. Writing about software that isn't yet done was a lot easier with his help.
