Author’s Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I want to acknowledge and honor the late Dr. John Pezzullo,

the original author of this work. It has been a pleasure to revise his thorough and

interesting writing, delivered with the enthusiasm of a true educator. I am also

extremely grateful for Matt Wagner of Fresh Books, who opened the doors

necessary for my coauthorship of this book. Further, I am indebted to editor

Katharine Dvorak for her constant support, guidance, and helpfulness through the

writing process. Additionally, I want to extend a special “thank you” to my amaz-

ing colleague, Sunil Gupta, who provided his typically excellent technical review.

Finally, I want to express my appreciation for all the other members of the For

Dummies team at Wiley who helped me along the way to make this book a success.

Thank you for helping me be the best writer I can be! — Monika
