Thank you very much to my very patient editors at Packt—I brought things down to the wire more than once and you all have handled it exceptionally. To my mentor, Ray—you taught me that there's always room for improvement. To my mother, Kelly, father Joe, sister Kaitlynn, and brother Alex—you have been there for me my whole life, and I love you all dearly. Finally, to Raquel Vélez and Rick Waldron: your NodeBots workshop at JSConf 2013 changed my life, and you're both wonderful stewards of the community.
