I'd like to acknowledge Tom Limoncelli for convincing me that everyone has at least one book in them. Thanks to my Dad, John Henderson, for leading by example with a strong work ethic and beliefs. Finally, thanks to Jordan Krause for all his work in providing a great foundation for this edition of the book.
