First and foremost, I would like to thank my wife, Ene, for her
support throughout my career and in writing this book. She has
been my inspiration and motivation for continuing to improve my
knowledge and helping me move ahead in my career. She is my
rock, and I dedicate this book to her. I also thank my wonderful
children, Femi, Lara, and our new addition, Temi, for always making
me smile and for understanding on those days when I was writing
this book instead of playing games with them.
I would also like to thank my book reviewers—Opeyemi Akinjayeju,
who is a dear friend of mine, as well as Louis Hénault and Carlos
Marin—for their invaluable feedback and input toward the
completion of this book. Lastly, I would like to thank my parents,
George and Katie Anthony, for instilling a strong work ethic in me
from an early age.
