Acknowledgments
I would frst like to thank my acquisitions editor, Jeff Kellum. I’ve worked with Jeff for more
years than I can remember, and his experience of working with me and the Cisco certifcation
process is a needed asset for my success. Thanks for hanging in there once again, Jeff!
Working with David Clark as my developmental editor was a frst, and it was a smooth,
pleasant experience—thank you, David!
In addition, Judy Flynn and Christine O’Connor made the editorial process a breeze. I was
very happy when I heard they were working with me once again on this new book! I look for-
ward to many more projects with this great team.
I also want to thank my technical editor, Ryan Lindfeld. His dedicated, concise comments
have been invaluable and have made this a better book. The technical proofreader is Isaac
Valdez, and he has been very detailed, making sure that Ryan, John, and I didn’t miss any
details. Thank you all!
Thanks also to the Vertical Websites team, whose hard work has resulted in a power-
packed, good-looking online test engine. And last but not least, thanks to proofreaders
Sarah Kaikini and Dan Aull, indexer Robert Swanson, and compositor Craig Woods at
