4. Acknowledgements - people you'd like to thank for their help in producing this book, (friends, family, etc) - this part is written in the first person.

I would especially like to thank my family, especially my wife who have put up with my loss of family time researching the subject matter, writing and collating it with the publisher PactIT. It has been difficult especially after completing a BSc, MSc and now an IT book. So thanks for the kind patience in this project, that I wanted to do for sometime.
