Acknowledgments I d like to thank everyone at Apress who helped make this book a reality for their patience and understanding during what has been a sometimes-difficult writing process. In particular, I d like to express my gratitude to Kelly Moritz, Ben Renow-Clarke, Tony Campbell, Kim Wimpsett, and Steve Anglin. Jeffrey Sambells also deserves extra recognition for keeping me on the straight and narrow, questioning my approach when needed, and providing a sanity check throughout. He s performed above and beyond the requirements of a technical reviewer. And finally, my most heartfelt gratitude goes to my nontechnical reviewer (and loving wife), Teresa Petrykowski, for her unfailing support throughout. xviii P A R T 1 ? ? ?

Web gadgets have been around for several years, so by now most web professionals have seen them and have perhaps dismissed them as toys or distractions."
