Authors’ Acknowledgments
We did it! And I say that with pride and incredulity. The pride bit is obvious.
This book is the product of a lot of hard work, perseverance, dedication and
determination. The incredulity comes from the fact that I actually got to write
another book with Kevin — this is the fourth book I have had the pleasure
of co-authoring with him and after our last book I believed him when he said
that he was done writing techie books. I wasn’t ready to hang up my writing
boots and was resigned to the fact that I would proceed with my next book
sans Kevin and Veli. Imagine my surprise when Kevin actually agreed to Veli’s
proposition of coauthoring another SharePoint 2010 book! Thank you for
saying yes Kevin, it was an honor to write with you again, and thanks to Veli
for giving you the bait. We had initially planned on going the self-publishing
route, but that changed when Wiley came knocking on the door with an offer
to write SharePoint 2010 All-In-One Desk Reference for Dummies. We jumped
at the chance.
Thank you to my literary agent Carol Jelen from Waterside Productions for
introducing me to Katie Feltman from Wiley Publishing. Thank you to Katie
for the opportunity to write for such a wonderful series and a reputable
publisher. It has been an incredibly satisfying, rewarding and educational
experience. The Wiley staff are brilliant! Thank so much to Katie and Pat
O’Brien for their incredible patience and support throughout this whole
process. Thanks to Pat, Barry, Lisa, Laura, and Matthew for your very thorough
and enlightening edits — you really brought our text to life.
Special thanks to the wonderful folks at Temple Coffee (29th and S) in
Sacramento. Lori, Leslie, Bethany, Ben, Spencer and Lauren, thank you all so
much for being such gracious hosts and for putting up with me for hours on
end while I tapped away on my laptop. The coffee creations that you all
make are true works of art, without which this book would never have been
completed.
Thanks to you, the reader, for purchasing our book. We hope you fi nd this
book useful in your SharePoint journey as that’s what makes all the hard
work put into writing this book worthwhile. If you have any feedback or
questions regarding the content, feel free to contact us and we’ll try our best
to help you out.
Thank you to my ever loving and supportive family. To my Mum, Dad, sisters
and their hubbys, thank you for your constant encouragement. Love you all.
To Caoimhe and Niamh, my sweet, sweet girls. Thank you for being so patient
with me and excited for me as I completed each chapter. Your smiles and
