Acknowledgments

First I would like to thank my wife, Crystal, and my two daughters, Alexandria and Paige. They put up with me missing many events while working on this project.

Thanks to my co-author Tylor Wentworth for his friendship and laughter. A person could not ask for a better partner and friend.

Thanks to James Chellis for giving me the opportunity to work with him on this project. It is always an honor to have my name next to his on this book.

Thanks to Jeff Kellum for helping me through this process and always being there when I needed guidance. Thanks to Stef Jones for the endless hours of editing. It was a pleasure to work with her on this project. Thanks to Rodney Fournier (another geek like me) who is one of the best Tech Editors a writer could ask for and Eric Charbonneau for guiding me through the finish line. Also, I would like to thank all the other editors and staff at Wiley who helped make this book better. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with all of you.

Finally, I would like to thank Todd Lammle for all his friendship and support. His dedication and guidance to this industry helps motivate us to be better.

—Will Panek

I’d like to start by thanking my wife, Julie, for supporting all my obsessions. I’d also like to thank Travis and Jessie for their support.

I would also like to thank Will for persevering, motivating, and pushing me to go beyond the pondering stage and take action; without him this book would not be in existence.

—Tylor Wentworth
