About the Author

Jacob J. Sanford is currently a Project Lead with the Rapid Application Development Team at the Florida

Department of Children & Families. He began developing web applications more than 10 years ago using

primarily classic ASP with various relational databases. Over the years he has dabbled in other web

application development languages such as ColdFusion and PHP. However, he has been working almost

exclusively with the .NET Framework since its 1.0 release. He is a regular contributor to 2MinuteTips.com

and makes frequent presentations at local and regional .NET events. Having worked in all aspects of the

SDLC, he has been focusing his recent efforts primarily on accessible web design (especially as it pertains

to .NET applications). He also spends an inordinate amount of time ‘‘playing’’ with the latest (alpha and

beta) web technologies, especially Microsoft Silverlight. He is married and as of writing this book has

one son, but by the time you read it, he will have two. (Welcome to the world, Hayden.)

Acknowledgments

I was literally sitting at my computer staring at the screen thinking ‘‘I can’t believe I am ﬁnally writing my

acknowledgments.’’ This book has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, even though it

had to accommodate back surgery, pregnancy (my wife’s — not mine), work commitments, and a variety

of other obstacles. There was at least a time or two when I seriously questioned whether or not I would

ﬁnish. But I did. And it was due in no small part to a lot of people who I now get the chance to thank.

First, I want to acknowledge the amazing people at Wrox who helped me get here. I recently read a

blog entry by Jim Minatel, the senior acquisitions editor who was my ﬁrst contact at Wrox. He outlined

all of the things that a good book submission should have in order to be considered for a book deal.

After reading it, I thought ‘‘How did I make it through that process?’’ Jim saw something and gave me

a chance, and I will never forget that. He has been involved throughout the entire process and given me

a lot of great advice and direction along the way. He also hooked me up with my development editor,

Kelly Talbot. Kelly was very gracious and helpful to me throughout the entire book. He was funny,

encouraging, insightful, and kept me motivated throughout the chapters and all of the review processes

at the end. He kept me on track and was extremely accommodating when I had unexpected delays. I also

want to publicly thank my technical editor, Adam Kahtava. I was excited, albeit a bit intimidated, when I

found out he was going to be my technical editor. I had read his blogs before ever starting this book and

had some speciﬁc entries bookmarked for my own reference. He provided even more technical expertise

in his editing than I had expected (and I expected a lot). He caught the errors I missed and made a lot

of really great suggestions on how to expand or clarify certain points I was trying to make. If this book

becomes a success, it is because of these three people.

I also want to thank my family for all of their support and forgiveness. To my wife, Shannan, you rock.

You let me spend countless hours on the computer writing, reading, and ‘‘playing.’’ You never let me

question how much you believed in me, and I know the book happened in large part because of your

love and support. To my son, Matthew, you are my constant inspiration. My ofﬁce is covered with your

photos for a reason. I love you and want to be just like you when I grow up. To my son, Hayden, I can’t

wait to meet you. Even though you aren’t here yet, you inspired me in ways that you will never know.

Now that I am done with the book, I can ﬁnally work on your room. I also want to thank my mother,

Peggy, for being my ﬁrst, and still favorite, tech support customer. And to my brother, Daniel, thank you

for keeping me level-headed and ‘‘real.’’ My family is more important to me than anything else, and I

hope you all know how much I love you.

I would like to acknowledge some of the people who helped me get to the point, technically, where I felt

like I could write about web application development. First, to David Drinkwine, who started me on my

ﬁrst classic ASP project. To Telly Buckles for giving me my ﬁrst real web designer job and starting me on

my Photoshop journey. To Marsha Ryan for letting me sit in a locked ofﬁce for a week to teach myself

.NET. And to Kim Brock and Margie France who helped me mature into the professional web developer

I have become over the last year or two.
