Testing jQuery

Acknowledgments 
I feel like I should probably thank Robert Banh, Michelle Lowman, and Anita Castro first. They put up 
with my insane schedule, inability to make up my mind about the book's content, and my general 
scattered work habits. 
Mom and Dad, I've said it before, but thanks for everything. I couldn't have done it if you hadn't 
been willing to put up with my many identity crises. 
Nate, you keep me motivated, as usual, by continually doing cooler things than I'm doing. Kyle, 
Scott, Mike, Harris, Rhino, Amie, Shannon: thanks for forcing me to be social and leave the house every 
once in a while. Checkers, thanks for setting up the tee times. 
Of course, I need to thank Drew, Henry, and Tom for joining the Ennui Design team and allowing 
me to take the time to write. It's great to have people with whom I can bounce ideas around; you 
probably don't know how much it means to me to have people around who understand what I'm talking 
about (and, more importantly, actually care about the subject matter). 
To Peter, Rose, Molly, Lucy, Kathryn, Jenna, and the rest of the girls at Caffé Dolcé, you're as 
responsible for this book reaching completion as I am. Thanks for remembering my order on days I was 
too frazzled to articulate. 
Everyone at the Montana Programmers meetups — Ian Merwin, Wes Hunt, Monica Ray, Nathan 
and Jennifer Stephens, Christopher Cable, Ashton Sanders, Andy Laken, Scott Rouse, Nora McDougall-
Collins, and everyone whose name escapes me right now — I have more fun at those meetups than I do 
at most gatherings. Thanks for showing up and proving that even Montana can have a developers' 
community. 
And of course, to the online community — Rob MacKay, Andrea La Valleur, Mike Conaty, Chris 
Coyier, Paul Barrick, Brenley Dueck, Bill Joseph, Brad Smith, the DCTH crew — thanks for providing a 
welcome distraction when I needed a minute, sharing insight, and reminding me that there are geeks 
everywhere; you just don't see us because we're all inside on the computer.
