ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Writing a book, even on a subject you love, is a long and laborious task that can’t be done without a great team of people helping you along the way. I found that team at No Starch Press, and would like to thank everyone there who was instrumental in bringing this book to you. Specifically, I want to thank Bill Pollock, Janelle Ludowise, Annie Choi, Zach Lebowski, Frances Saux, Meg Sneeringer, Liz Chadwick, Rhiannon Elliot, Amanda Hariri, Aron Rubin, and everyone else who was working behind the scenes.

An endeavor like this also requires a lot of support from friends, family, and loved ones. I’d like to acknowledge the people who helped me get through the writing process with motivation and support, including Stephanie, Daniel, Sean, Samantha, Dad, Danielle, and Shelby. Thank you all for being there for me!

Finally, I want to thank you, the maker community, and everyone at Hackster.io and Hackaday.com. Without such a fantastic group of enthusiastic people, there never would have been a market for my writing or this book. The maker community has provided both a resource for me to learn, and an audience for my writing about what I’ve learned. Most importantly, I have found a community where I feel like I belong.
