Acknowledgments
While it is impossible to individually acknowledge everyone who had a hand in getting this book from an idea to the printed work you now hold in your hand, I would like to recognize and thank a few of these special people.
First, my thanks go out to the technical reviewers for this edition, Brendan O’Hara, Elishia Olsen, Steve Rittler, Scott Varga, and Ray West. I can’t begin to describe how helpful they have been. This edition also benefited from comments and suggestions from Selene Bainum, Artur Bakhtriger, Michael Dinowitz, Elias Jo, and Amy Wong, my technical reviewers from the first edition.
I’d also like to thank the engineers, support staff, and product managers at Macromedia for their hard work and dedication to making ColdFusion what it is. Without access to your knowledge and insight, writing this book would not have been possible.
My editors at O’Reilly, Paula Ferguson (first and second edition) and Laura Lewin (first edition), also deserve recognition. Without their editorial skill and ability to help me focus in on the important aspects of the book, you wouldn’t be reading this. Finally, I’d like to thank the production staff at O’Reilly for their hard work in getting the book to print.
And finally, my wife Persephone, for all things at all times.
