To my father, who had the wherewithal and foresight to introduce me to programming and computers at a very young age and taught me to see technology as a business tool. And to my wife, Dominica, and my daughters, Liesl and Luciana, for suffering through the writing of a book on top of all of the normal craziness that life is always throwing at us. My team makes this all possible.
