Thank you, Lord, for the blessings in my life and providing me with what I need. I would like to thank Packt Publishing for giving me this incredible opportunity to write my first complete book. Having a published work has been a goal that I have thought about for many years. Special thank you to Sonali, who approached me with this idea and helped me take my first steps to begin writing and sharing information to help others learn. I have worked with a group of amazing people that have provided support and guidance to me on this project. I would especially like to thank Riddhi and Usha for their valuable cooperation and support. Justin's attention to detail and brilliant ideas helped me to refine the content into what I truly believe will provide a valuable resource to learning Grunt as well as a reference to return to again and again. Additionally, my most heartfelt thanks go to my beloved family, my wife Patricia, my son Zachary, and our dogs Penny and Juno (they spent countless hours accompanying me at my desk).
