Acknowledgments
“It takes a village” doesn’t just apply to rearing children; I have learned
through this project that it also applies to writing books. First, I’d like to
thank Matt Rotter, my rock, for his kindness, motivation, and all-around
awesomeness. It is he who introduced me to Mark Davis, the tech
editor of this book. Mark’s 20 years of experience developing custom
Microsoft software and his most recent work as a Windows 8 software
developer have proved invaluable in this project. I truly appreciate his
wealth of knowledge and effortless way of connecting the tech dots.
Then there’s the amazing Peachpit team: Cliff Colby, who spearheaded
the project, created the dream team and brought the book to fruition;
Robyn Thomas, who is an impressive editor, kept the book moving
along; and Scout Festa, whose attention to detail is inspiring. Finally, I’m
fortunate enough to be surrounded by friends and family who provided
encouragement and support in a multitude of ways while I was writing
this book, and to all of you I say, “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
