Acknowledgments

This book could not have been written without the help of all the people who contributed to it. To start, I want to thank the people at Pearson—Denise Lincoln and Ellie Bru in particular. We’ve worked a lot together over the past years, and this book is another milestone on our road to success! It has been fantastic how you both have helped me to realize this book in just two months!

Next, I want to thank my technical reviewers. Big thanks to Bo and John! Thanks to your great feedback, I’ve been able to apply important improvements to the contents of this book. Also, a special thanks to Etienne Esterhuizen, from New Zeeland and Santos Venter Chibenga, and Robert Charles Muchendu from the African Living Open Source Community, who helped me as volunteer reviewers. And last but not least, thanks to my fellow instructor and colleague Pascal van Dam, who helped me make some important last-minute improvements.
