Acknowledgments
A big thank you to my wife for encouraging me to write this book and supporting me
over the months that it took to complete it. Great big hugs to my two wonderful children, ages 9 and 5, who had no idea why Daddy was always sitting at the computer; for
some strange reason, though, they knew that it was important and supported me in their
own mysterious ways. I love you guys!
An equally big thank you to my parents, without whom I would not be where I am or
who I am today, and to my sister, Terry-Anne, who always kicked me in the right direction.
Thanks to Dan Young, my mentor and the Director of Live Learning at Skillsoft, for all
the support and encouragement you have provided me all these years.
I’d like to thank Ellie Bru, my Development Editor, for organizing and putting into
action all the parts needed to develop this book (definitely not an easy task).
Thank you to Mandie Frank, my Production Editor, for putting all the final pieces of
this book together so nicely and making sure that it resembles a book.
Thank you to Diane Teare and Ryan Lindfield for reviewing the book and making sure
it’s technically sound.
Keith Cline, thank you for making sure all i’s were “crossed” and t’s “dotted” within the
book. (HaHaHa) You found some items in this book that I didn’t even know existed.
Thank you!
Thank you to Brett Bartow, my Executive Editor, for giving me the opportunity to write
this detailed book.
A big thank you to Kevin Wallace, the author of the previous edition of TSHOOT and a
friend, who passed the torch on to me for this edition. Thank you.
Lastly, thank you to the entire team at Cisco Press, their families and friends, who work
extremely hard to produce high-quality training materials.
—Raymond Lacoste
