I would like to dedicate this work to my wife, Susan, and my children, Madeline and Bobby, who encouraged me through many late nights and long days. If not for their love and dedication this book would have never been possible.

Acknowledgments


This book came together through the efforts of many people. The team at Sams.Net was phenomenal: Kim, Marla, Johnna, Cari, and Brian. I would especially like to thank Marla who was always able to inject a bit of humor into her editorial queries. The Technical Editor, Ricardo Birmele, was instrumental in making sure all the code in this book works as advertised.

Personally, I have many people to thank: My wife Susan for always encouraging me; my parents for always pushing me to give life my best effort; Bernard Jones for kindling the fire of excitement I experienced when I first discovered the Internet. Finally, to the team at Pipestream Technologies for putting up with a grouchy Senior Developer who had stayed up most of the previous night writing, and to Ken Banks, President of Pipestream Technologies, who had the vision to add as much Web capability to our sales force automation product as possible. This vision made my experimentation with Web programming possible.
