First and foremost, I'd like to thank my coauthors for the tireless work they
put in to make this book something we can all be proud to say we wrote
together. I hope to work on many more projects and achieve many great
things with you in the future.
I'd like to thank our reviewers, specically Will Voorhees and Sarah Kelley,
for reading every single chapter of the book and providing excellent
feedback on each one. This book owes much of its quality to their great
advice and suggestions.
I'd also like to thank my family and friends for their support and
encouragement in just about everything I do.
Last, but certainly not least, I'd like to thank my ancée and partner in
life, Nikki, for her patience, understanding, and willingness to stick with
me throughout all my ambitious undertakings, this book being just one of
them. I wouldn't dare take risks and experiment with nearly as many things
professionally if my personal life was not the stable, loving, supportive
environment she provides.
