Acknowledgments

I would like to express many thanks to all my family and friends who offer their constant encouragement and ongoing support. I am a lucky guy to have so many wonderful and inspiring people in my life.

A huge thanks and kudos to my editing team at Apress for joining me for a second time on this book: Jon Hassell, Ana Panchoo, Douglas Pundick—each of whom are a pleasure to work with and learn from. Thanks to everyone supporting my title behind the scenes at Apress who I did not get a chance to meet, and to the production team at SPi. Thanks to my copyeditor, Kimberly Burton-Weisman, for having such an eye for detail and for working hard to give my text a final polish.

Thanks also to my technical reviewer, my good friend Zach Millis, for joining me again on our second book project together, for lending his expertise, and for his hard work providing me with feedback. Thank you all for helping me make a quality book!
