CMS Security Handbook: The Comprehensive Guide for WordPress®, Joomla!®, Drupal™, and Plone®

Acknowledgments

For those who have never written a book, you never see the cast of many behind the author. While the writing belongs to the author, the quality of the writing is often enhanced by the team of people behind the author that make him or her look good. In my case, I believe I'm a decent writer, but with the editorial staff of Wiley, I look like a great writer. That “greatness” comes through the hard work and skill of the editors I had the honor to work with.

I wish to thank my Project Editor, Kevin Shafer, and his team for helping me to produce what I hope to be a truly great work. I wish to thank Carol Long, my Executive Editor, for putting up with multiple delays, and for the opportunity to put my experience on paper and bring it to you. I especially would like to thank the Technical Editor, David Chapa, for his most excellent and challenging technical peer review of this work.

Thanks to Jeff Star of perishablepress.com for his help with the art of .htaccess, and Doug Vann of dougvann.com for his valuable assistance with Drupal questions.

Special thanks go to my good friend Mark Turner of Walt-Disney Corporation, who inspired the original idea for this work some time ago.

I thank my beautiful wife, Carol Ann, who has endured me writing yet another book and putting up with an unfinished remodel of our home during this time.

In my 20-plus years in the technology industry, I have met and learned from so many people that I cannot begin to recall them all. Please know ...
