Scott and Jeanne would like to thank numerous individuals for their contribution to this book. Thank you to David Clark for guiding us through the process and making the book better in so many ways. Thank you to Janeice DelVecchio for being our technical editor as we wrote this book. Janeice pointed out many subtle errors in addition to the big ones. And thank you to Elena Felder for being our technical proofreader and finding the errors that we managed to sneak by Janeice. This book also wouldnt be possible without many people at Wiley, including Kenyon Brown, Rebecca Anderson, Judy Flynn, Nancy Carrasco, and so many others.

Scott could not have reached this point without the help of a small army of people, led by his perpetually understanding wife, Patti, the most wonderful mother their twin daughters, Olivia and Sophia, could ask for. Professors Johannes Gehrke and John H. Hubbard of Cornell University always believed in him and knew he would excel in his career. Scott would like to extend his gratitude to his wonderfully patient co-author Jeanne, on this their third book. I dont know how she puts up with me, but Im glad she does and thrilled at the quality of books we produce. A big thanks to Matt Dalen, who has been a great friend, sounding board, and caring father to the wonderfully sweet Olivia Dalen. Joel McNary introduced Scott to CodeRanch.com and encouraged him to post regularly, a step that changed his life. Finally, Scott would like to thank his mother and retired teacher, Barbara Selikoff, for teaching him the value of education and his father, Mark Selikoff, for instilling in him the benefits of working hard.

Jeanne would personally like to thank everyone at CodeRanch.com who asked and responded to OCA and OCP questions and comments about our first two books. Having dialog with the readers made this book even stronger. Jeanne would like to thank the members of FIRST robotics FRC team 694 in addition to FTC teams 310 and 479 for their support. Your questions make it so she can never forget what new learners are thinking. Go StuyPulse! Jeanne would also like to thank Onur Otlu and Thomas Campos for the feedback on some localization questions. Finally, Jeanne would like to thank Scott for being a great co-author and not getting tired of me.

Last but not least, both Scott and Jeanne would like to give a big thank you to the readers of our OCA 8 and OCP 8 books. Hearing from all of you who enjoyed the book and passed the exam is a great feeling. Wed also like to thank those who pointed out errors and made suggestions for improvements in our OCP book. As of December 2016, the top three were Guillaume Bailly, Thalita Vergilio, and Sbastien Canonica. We also would like to thank Olivier Chalet, Mihaela Hetea, Peter Deak, Anton Shaikin, Ramya R, Tim Moroz, Aurelien Gamet, Javid Azimli, Salim Rahal, and Sander Wamelink.
