Writing a book is harder than I thought but more rewarding than I ever conceived. I'm eternally grateful for my wife Mariel, who not only told me this was an opportunity that I couldn't turn down, but for also keeping our two daughters, Sara and Emma, at bay so I had time to write and edit. I'd also like to thank the whole Packt team for presenting me with this opportunity. Finally, thank you to Presidio for all the support they have shown me when I said I was going to be taking this challenge on.
