Acknowledgments

As with any book, a ton of people were involved in making our ideas actually come together in the pile of bound paper you're holding in your hand (or reading off your computer monitor).

First, a huge amount of appreciation goes out to our editor, the lovely and talented Laurel Ruma, who put up with our silliness and kicked our butts into action when we needed it. You were absolutely fantastic to work with.

We also wish to thank the contributing authors to the book who took the time to write about their own projects, which made the concept even better.

Our technical reviewers also deserve a huge amount of praise. These chapters were very time-consuming to read through and test thoroughly. In many cases, hardware needed to be built by hand, code had to be tested in two languages, and projects needed to be retested as we refined certain portions. Thank you to Chris Charabaruk, Jenny Chowdhury, Andy Dunn, Micheal Eaton, Jake Good, Johnny Halife, Ed Kaim, Brian Keller, Mike Korcynksi, Michael Letterle, Gio Montrone, Adam Nathan, Scott C. Reynolds, Michael Sampson, Griffith Townsend, Dean Weber, Chris G. Williams, and Lou Vega for going above and beyond to make this book better.

Special thanks go out to my wife, Angie, who carried my bloodied, half-dead corpse across the finish line to complete this book. I couldn't have written this without your love, ...
