To my family: Elisabeth, Benjamin, Hanna, and Abigail. You have sacrificed a husband and daddy for countless hours of writing, frequently at times when he was needed most.
Thanks!

Also, to my friends and colleagues at IntelliTect. Thanks for filling in for me when I was writing rather than doing my job and for helping with the myriad of details in trying to improve the content and devops processes that help keep a code base like this running smoothly.
