The speed with which this version 2 was accomplished/published was also very impressive. Anyone who has turned out even a single page of published material knows how intense the process. I think I was given as much time to write the forward as you guys had for the entire book of over 900 pages! And I don't think I've seen a professional book from SAP in recent years with as many authors as you worked with. Orchestrating that into some kind of coherence is no mean feat. Yep, Ginger is amazing. As an instructor, teammate and project coordinator few can compare to our Ginger. Granted, she had outstanding human resources for this book project but to be fair she sure knew how to assemble them. Glad you also give such deserved credits to Alan and Jocelyn. They have been respected voices in this community for ever. It is really excellent to see so many of our mentors and top contributors as authors. Kudos to you all.

Thanks Marilyn. First off, we were given the most solid foundation from the original book, and authors Alan Rickayzen and Jocelyn Dart. Then it was an amazing collaboration effort, with the amazing Ginger Gatling coordinating all the experts from around the world. And we found the right voice for the forward! I am so lucky to have been able to contribute in a very small way to this project. The original book (I still have several copies) has served me very well over the years. Hope the same can be said of V2.
