I'd like to thank a number of people who have contributed to this book.

The people at Packt Publishing who have guided me every step of the way. In particular, my editors Hyacintha D'Souza and Sarah Cullington, thank you for your advice and assistance; and Michelle Quadros for keeping me on track with timely deadline reminders.

With nearly 50,000 Moodle sites in 210 different countries, the software I have written about would not be here if it wasn't for the Moodle development team, and in particular Martin Dougiamas who continues to lead the project. You guys and the thousands of other people that have contributed to the Moodle project are doing a brilliant job.

Lastly, I would like to thank all the people that have helped with the book. In particular the Technical reviewers Julian Ridden and Ian Wild for their valuable insights and Mary Cooch for writing such a lovely foreword. My thanks also go to Jonathan Fernandes, Nicola Mason, and Joe Curtis for looking over my work and giving me some great feedback for improvement. I hope you all found it a fulfilling and worthwhile process. Moodle on.
