"There are many people who helped to make this book possible. My other half Marlene was the one who initially suggested that I try out for the Ray Wenderlich team. She gave me lots of encouragement and, even before the editors saw my work, edited every chapter to make sure my sentences were coherent. My late mother passed on her love of reading and many creative skills for which I will always be grateful. The many strong women and family members in my life who taught me to live life with honesty and conviction and were encouraging of my work. I owe a debt of gratitude to the Ruby community for teaching me about TDD and infecting me with enthusiasm. Id also like to thank Ray Wenderlich and the team for giving me the chance to share my love of TDD with the world. Finally, Id like to thank all of the editors and co-authors of this book. It has been a very rewarding experience working with everybody on the team."

"To my family, friends, and especially my partner, who supported me while writing this book. Tyler, thanks for all your encouragement and patience you gave me as I spent evenings in front of my laptop turning thoughts into words."

"To my girlfriend Romina, who will soon become my wife. Thanks for your support and help, examples and discussions about the topics of this book. Yes, shes a developer too, isnt that great? :] Also, to my family, who had to listen repeatedly about what I was writing, and no, they aren't developers!"
