I would like to thank my amazing wife, Cindy, and children, Caden and Maya, for all the love and support that enabled me to take the time to make this book a reality. Thank you for allowing me to pursue yet another "special project" that eats into our already limited family time. I would also like to thank the fine folks at Packt Publishing for taking the chance and allowing your technical reviewer to step up and author the remaining content of this book. I know it was a risk to ask your pit crew, "Is there anyone out there who wants to go fast?" and for that, I am extremely grateful.
