Preface

Acknowledgement

I would like to thank all those around me who have inspired me to undertake another book to help others. My wife and daughters are incredibly generous with what would be our time together, allowing me to borrow it to write. My father who is always asking me why things do and don't work and what can be done to fix them. Friends and colleagues have provided feedback, honestly, that has helped shape the book with their insight and differing opinions, enabling it to answer more questions and provide more useful insight.

Finally, I want to thank and remember my mum. She taught me to chase my dreams, no matter how difficult it may be. My mum got to see my first book published and to see this one start, but was not there in the end to see this book arrive in its finished form. I hope she looks down at me from where ever she is and is as proud of me as I am of her. I will miss you mum and your support for my projects like this book. For this reason, I dedicate this book to you, for all the love, knowledge and strength you have given me.
