Mastering VMware vSphere 6

Today, on this gloriously sunny Saturday morning, the mailman rang my doorbell, alerting me to the arrival of yet another box from Amazon. My wife asked what it was, and I answered:

an Amazon box.

Quickly realizing that wasn't a great answer, I opened it.

Outside of academic journals, and a recent IBM Redpaper, this is the first time I've been honored to see my name in print, on a book. I'm so glad everybody now has their chance to read this, a mere 3 weeks and 2 days after vSphere 6.0 became available.

A few months back, I was approached by author Nick Marshall, an Integration Architect at VMware, asking if I wanted to review certain chapters of his upcoming book. Of course, I said yes, focusing on the initial installation and configuration chapters. Yes, my contribution was admittedly rather small.

Despite that, it's very gracious of Nick to have all 9 vExperts that pitched in listed right there on the Acknowledgments page:

• Derek Seaman - www.derekseaman.com
• Ather Beg - atherbeg.com
• Christopher Kusek - pkguild.com
• Keiran Shelden - www.readysetvirtual.com
• Kyle Ruddy - www.thatcouldbeaproblem.com
• Steve Flanders - sflanders.net
• Paul Braren - www.tinkertry.com
• David Hanacek - transformation.emc2.at
• Abdullah Abdullah - notes.doodzzz.net

Thanks go out to Nick Marshall @nickmarshall9 for this opportunity, and of course, a special thank you to the guy that started the series, Scott Lowe @scott_lowe.
