I'd like to thank my parents, who have been really supportive throughout, my professors,
who helped me during my days at university and got me where I am, and my friends, who
were very understanding. A big thanks to the Julia community. These people are amazing
and are the rockstars of our generation.
I would also like to thank Packt Publishing and the editors for helping me throughout. A
special thanks to Sébastien Celles; his expertise and reviews really helped me improve the
book.
