About the Author

Eric Rochester enjoys reading, writing, and spending time with his wife and kids. When he's not doing these things, he likes to work on programs in a variety of languages and platforms. Currently, he is exploring functional programming languages, including Clojure and Haskell. He has also written Clojure Data Analysis Cookbook, Packt Publishing. He works at the Scholars' Lab library at the University of Virginia, helping the professors and graduate students of humanities realize their digitally informed research agendas.

I'd like to thank almost everyone. My technical reviewers proved invaluable. Also, thank you to the editorial staff at Packt Publishing. This book is much stronger for all of their feedback, and any remaining deficiencies are mine alone.

Thank you to Bethany Nowviskie and Wayne Graham. They've made the Scholars' Lab a great place to work at; they have interesting projects and give us space to explore our own interests as well.

A special thank you to Jackie, Melina, and Micah. They've been exceptionally patient and supportive while I worked on this project. Without them, it wouldn't be worth it.
