Acknowledgments

Brad Edgeworth:

Jason and Ramiro, thanks for helping me out on this project. I am privileged enough to know you, let alone work with you.

This is the part of the book that you look at to see if you have been recognized. Well, many people have provided feedback, suggestions, and support to make this a great book. Thanks to all who have helped in the process, or even in educating me, especially Brett Bartow, Dan Wiggins, Dan Wasson, Carlos Rojas, Darryl McCartney, Dan Behrens, and my managers.

Jason Gooley:

First, thank you to Brad and Ramiro. I had a blast working on this project with you! Thank you Brett Bartow and the rest of the Cisco Press team for all of the support during the creation of this book. It was a pleasure to have the chance to work with you all again!

I would like to thank the entire GSD team for supporting me during this process. In no particular order, thank you Andre Laurent, Tyler Creek, Walt Sacharok, David Prall, Nicole Wajer, Dax Mickelson, Dmitry Figol and Stephanie Anderson. This team is a big part of my family and I love you all!

A special thanks to Jim Cook for being my huckleberry, calm voice of reason, and helping me stay on course. To Luke Kaelin for always being there to keep me sane and to keep me laughing. To my friend Vince Baldocchi for all the kind words and support. I can’t thank you all enough for always believing in me.

Lastly, I would like to thank my wife Jamie again. Without you, none of this would be possible. You mean the world to me. I love you!

Ramiro Garza Rios:
