Dedication

I must thank Linda for her continued support while I work on projects such as this, and also our beautiful girls

Laura and Stephanie who are my motivation. Also a big thank -you to Wrox for the opportunity to participate in

the interesting projects that have been thrown my way, with special thanks in particular to Doug, Avril, and

Chandy.

degree in Aerospace Engineering, he has found that developing software is far more interesting and rewarding.

encryption, and large- scale data replication systems.

Mike is a proud father, inspired husband, annoying brother, and dedicated son who thanks his lucky stars for

having a family that gives freely their support during this project. Mike can be reached at mbenko@atgmn.com .

Robin Dewson

Robin started out on the Sinclair ZX80 but soon progressed and built the basis of a set of programs for his father's

post office business on later Sinclair computers. He ended up studying computers at the Scottish College of

Textiles where he was instilled with the belief that mainframes were the future. After many sorry years, he

eventually saw the error of his ways, and started to use Clipper, FoxPro, and then Visual Basic. Robin is currently

working on a system called "Vertigo", replacing the old trading system called "Kojak", and is glad to be able to

give up sucking lollipops and looking forward to allowing his hair to grow back on his head. He has been with a

large US Investment bank in the City of London for over five years and he owes a massive debt to Annette "They

wouldn't put me in charge if I didn't know what I was doing" Kelly, Daniel "Dream Sequence" Tarbotton, Andy "I

don't really know, I've only been here for a week", and finally, Jack "You will never work in the City again"

Mason.

Thanks to everyone at Wrox, but especially Cath Alexander, Cilmara Lion, Sarah Drew, Douglas Paterson, Claire

Brittle, Ben Egan, Avril Corbin, Rob Hesketh, and Chandy Nethisinghe for different reasons throughout the time,

but probably most importantly for introducing me to Tequila slammers (!). Also thanks to my mum and dad for

finding and sending me to the two best colleges ever and pointing me on the right road, my father -in- law who until

he passed away was a brilliant inspiration to my children, my mother -in-law for once again helping Julie with the

children. Also a quick thank-you from my wife, to Charlie and Debbie at Sea Palling for selling the pinball

machine!!! But my biggest thanks as ever go to Julie, the most perfect mother the kids could have, and to Scott,

Cameron, and Ellen for not falling off the jet -ski when I go too fast.
