From David Bateman:

I’d like to thank the Academy . . . oh wait, that’s the wrong speech. Seriously, I want to start off by thanking my unofficial editor, my wife. The hours she spends reading my work are greatly appreciated. I also want to thank Bill Burton for taking on the challenge of writing this book when we were both already too busy with other projects. I’d like to thank my coworkers at Skyline-ATS who have challenged and inspired me to learn and teach. And of course, I thank the good folks at Pearson Education, who gave us the opportunity to write this book.

From William Burton:

Thanks to Dave Bateman for sharing this writing experience and bringing me back to the joy of writing books. Thanks to Dayna Isley and the team from Pearson Education for making sure I didn’t wander too far from the beaten path.
