Acknowledgments

Many people contributed to this project during the many months I worked on it. Sincere thanks to Todd Bleeker, MVP, for inspiring me to write the book in the first place, and to Paul Grafelman and Eric Hanes, contributing authors, for sharing their expertise. Paul wrote chapters 3 and 5 about SharePoint Designer, and Eric contributed chapters 2 and 6 about out-of-the-box workflows and Office Visio.

At Manning Publications, I’d like to thank Marjan Bace; Mike Stephens; development editor Susan Harkins; and the production team of Betsey Henkels, Nermina Miller, Mary Piergies, and Gordan Salinovic. Special thanks to Wayne Ewington, MCM, for his careful technical review of the final manuscript during production.

The following reviewers offered valuable feedback after reading the manuscript several times during its development and made this a much better book as a result: Kunal Mittal, Jonas Bandi, Raymond Mitchell, Brandon Kobel, Andrew Grothe, Margriet Bruggeman, Nikander Bruggeman, Monty Grusendorf, Darren Neimke, and Berndt Hamboeck.

I’d also like to thank the readers of Manning’s Early Access Program (MEAP) for their contributions and corrections posted in the online forum.
