I'd like to take some time to thank those who helped this book become reality. First and foremost, my wife, Stephanie, who's been instrumental in encouraging me when I got anchored in the morass of writer's block. Also, I'd like to thank Reid Carlberg and Jeff Finken, who have always been more my mentors than bosses. And, I couldn't have done any of this without the support and friendship of the Salesforce MVP community. I am truly blessed to have been able to write this while standing on the shoulders of not just giants, but Titans who have never feared reaching out to help others. Thank you all.
