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 amazing 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
