I would like to thank my family for giving me my first video game system in 1985 at the young age of two. The wonder and mystery of controlling what's on the screen has stuck with me ever since. Most importantly, I would like to thank my fiancée, Danielle, for keeping me on my toes with this book and understanding the time it took to craft it. Thank you for being there through the ups and downs that come from pursuing steady and worthwhile work in the field of software development; particularly during this summer, when things finally changed after years of doing nothing but seemingly staring at closed doors and calling out to deaf ears.
