I'm grateful to my wife, who was encouraging in spite of my many late nights and weekend days sitting in front of the computer. Thanks very much to my team at Very, LLC for their encouragement and giving me Fridays to write this book. A special thanks to my colleague Daniel Searles, who took the time to be a technical reviewer, providing valuable feedback.
Daniel Paul Searles enthusiastically attempted to learn to program by book at thirteen, only to be completely stumped by a technical error in one of the required coding exercises. A number of years later, he was successful with another book, which propelled him to gain experience across many languages, operating systems, and tech stacks. The thought of what could have been if he was able to learn to program at a younger age energizes his work as a technical reviewer. Currently, he is pursuing Machine Learning and Functional Programming.
