It??™s my way, for better or worse (and I??™d be lying if I didn??™t say it was for
worse sometimes!). That??™s also the way I write. The greatest compliment I??™ve been paid, a
couple of times by various folks, is that I write like I??™m sitting there speaking to you. It??™s not on
purpose; it??™s just the way I naturally write. Enough people seem to like it and think it works to
allow me to keep getting books published, so I surmise it??™s not a bad thing.
That??™s what this book is: a series of practical applications, torn apart and described, in a
(hopefully!) entertaining style that will, with a little luck, keep you smiling as you learn about a
truly great library in DWR.
