Brand Hunt’s Acknowledgments
To my wife, Michelle: without your continued support and love, I wouldn’t be a part of this project. I’m appreciative of every moment we’ve shared and of your forgiveness for my keeping you awake at night with the “tappity-tap-taps” emanating from the computer.
Thanks also to my parents, Rex and Jackie, the two biggest influences in everything I’ve ever done correctly—especially those things that frequently take multiple attempts (like writing!).
A huge thanks to my teammates, Kevin, Daniel, and Jonathan for letting me participate in this project and exercising so much patience in tutoring a first-time O’Reilly author. Your professionalism, work ethic, and ability to make the most tedious tasks fun is so admirable I plan to steal it and adopt it as my own!
Mad props to my friends and colleagues at Rogue Wave Software, ProWorks, NewCode Technology, and Systems Research and Development, for providing the ultimate sandbox for refining skills in SQL, databases, business, software development, writing, and friendship: Gus Waters, Greg Koerper, Marc Manley, Wendi Minne, Erin Foley, Elaine Cull, Randall Robinson, Dave Ritter, Edin Zulic, David Noor, Jim Shur, Chris Mosbrucker, Dan Robin, Mike Faux, Jason Prothero, Tim Romanowski, Andy Mosbrucker, Jeff Jonas, Jeff Butcher, Charlie Barbour, Steve Dunham, Brian Macy, and Ze’ev Mehler.
