ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thank you to the team at No Starch Press for continuing to be a pleasure to work with and proving that remote teleworking across continents works! A big shout out and thanks to Les who not only checked and reviewed the program code but who also has always been there for programming advice, support, and inspiration. It was his insightful advice in response to the question “How do I get into freelance work?” that kick-started my journey with this book. Thanks also to Nigel Whitfield for the photography and images.

There are countless other inspiring hackers, makers, and people who have taken the time to listen to me, develop my understanding, and create opportunities. To them all, I offer a nod of appreciation.

Finally, thanks to Kay, the most inspirational person that I know.
