I am so fortunate to have a great collection of friends and family who have been very supportive over
the years. As my .NET experience and knowledge have matured I have been blessed with forming some
great relationships in the community. I have to thank everyone who has been supportive in the Triangle
.Net User Group over the years. Deciding one night what the group was ultimately changed my career
so much for the positive. I encourage each and every reader of this book to seek out any user group in
his area.
With that said, there are some specifi c people to thank. First, Tom, who has been a great friend to me
both professionally and personally, and who is always excited when good things happen for me. Beth,
you really helped me keep my composure and perspective in the past year with so many things coming
at me.
