Acknowledgements

Firstly, I would like to thank my wife, Sarah, for supporting me in writing this book, giving up our weekends, and encouraging me. Also, the endless supply of tea and biscuits when needed!

I'd like to acknowledge the Salesforce community for their excellent contributions, feedback, and encouragement in respect to the many open source frameworks used in this book. Thank you, one and all, and keep it up!

Lastly I'd like to acknowledge FinancialForce.com for its commitment to the Salesforce community by sharing code through its public GitHub repositories, many of which are featured and leveraged in this book. Open source is nothing without contributors; these repositories continue to benefit from contributions made both in the past and present by developers both internal and external to FinancialForce.com. So I also want to say a big thank you to those contributors!
