Acknowledgements

I want to thank Paul Berry for pushing this book to completion with such determination that he built the initial Web treatment and designed the graphics for the first cover (Hurdle's now in its sixth edition, and the cover has changed). Paul spent almost three years with Palo Alto Software, during which time sales doubled, as he took us onto the Internet for the first time.

Teri Epperly and Steve Lange have done a wonderful job with this book, designing the layout, managing the graphics, and patiently waiting on me through the ups and downs of my developing software, writing this and two other books, and managing a company at the same time.

Noah Parsons has taken our website network from its entrepreneurial first explosion to its present organized and developed state, and has steadily enhanced it for greater usability and effectiveness.
