ere are a lot of people involved in writing a book. Friends, family, lovers, pets, and
not to mention patient editors — all have had some sort of in uence since they have
put up with me over this somewhat hectic period. I could dedicate this book to any
one of them, or to lost family members that have meant a lot to what I am today.
I won’t, though.
is book is dedicated to the wonderful WordPress community. Without them, no
WordPress, and without WordPress, no book from yours truly. In fact, if it werent for
WordPress in particular, and open source in general, I probably would be doing
something entirely di erent today.
You’ve got to love WordPress. I do.
