"Denny Cherry is what would happen if Bill Gates and AC/DC got together to create a sibling. He's a bare-knuckles, no-holds-barred technologist, and you can bet that if he tells you that something works or doesn't work, he's speaking from experience. Active in the community, his passion is sharing. You'll enjoy this book." --Bucky Wood, Senior Technology Specialist, Microsoft
