Thanks to the entire team who contributed to this book about that moving target called Adobe Edge. Nan Barber has been my editor on many of these projects. Her work and skill is always appreciated. Thanks to Melanie Yarbrough who put all the pieces together and to Julie Van Keuren who found all those slips of the keyboard. Appreciation goes to Bob Pfahler who found all the right words to index. A special thanks to the technical reviewers, Jacques Surveyer and Darrell Heath whose questions, comments and suggestions made this a better book. As always, thanks and love to Joyce, my wife, who makes life fun.
