A sincere thanks to the awesome team at Razorfish Neev. I've learned so much working with you all.

My deepest regards to the technical reviewers, Jeff Cunningham, Ashutosh Das, AJ Kerrigan, Ciro Nunes, and Yacine Rezgui, and also to the content development editor, Vaibhav Pawar, whose insights and feedback greatly helped in adding the finishing touches for this book.

A big thank you to my family; my dad, Rufus, who learned computers only so that he could teach me; my mom, Anne, who has always encouraged me to take up challenges every time I thought it wasn't possible; my awesome kids, Shannon and Jaden, who sacrificed a lot of their play time so that I could write this book; my wife, Raina, for all the support that was instrumental in this book reaching its completion; and finally, my sister, Blaisy, who was always there to give feedback and critique my work, and with whom I could brainstorm and discuss ideas.
