| dc.description.abstract | A book is never written in isolation, it is a team effort. Even though the author’s name appears on the front cover, it requires the support and effort of many people who work behind the scenes to make sure the project is successful. First and foremost, I wish to thank my wife, Louisa, and my kids, Patrick and Megan, for giving me the support, the space, and the understanding to write this book. At Apress, I offer my sincere thanks to Steve Anglin for offering me this opportunity and to Jessica Vakili, who was always patient and helpful and made sure the project moved along smoothly. My thanks also go to Aaron Black for his support in organizing this project and bringing together this great team, which also includes Jim Markham, Massimo Nardone, and Eric Levasseur, who all provided fantastic insight to smooth out the rough edges and make the book shine. To Dhaneesh Kumar, for preparing the front and back covers, thank you. To everyone else who has worked on this project at Apress, I wish to say thank you for helping me with my project. | en_US |
