Acknowledgments
As always, I would like to offer a heartfelt thank-you to the entire team at Apress. I have been lucky to have 
worked with Apress on a variety of books since 2001. Beyond publishing high-quality technical material, the 
staff is excellent, and without them this book would not be possible. Thanks, everyone!
I also want to thank my co-author Philip Japikse. Thanks, Phil, for working hard to maintain the same 
approachable vibe of the book, while still adding your own personal expertise and voice. I believe our book 
(and those who read it) will most certainly benefit from this new partnership!
Last but not least, I want to thank my wife, Mandy, and my son, Soren, for supporting me.
—Andrew Troelsen
I also want to thank Apress and the entire team involved in writing this book. As I’ve come to expect with all 
of my books for Apress, I am very impressed with the dedication and level of support we received during the 
writing process. I want to thank you, the reader, for reading this book and hope that you will find it as helpful 
in your career as it has been in mine. Lastly, I couldn’t have done this without my family and the support I’ve 
had from them. Between reading my work and proofing it and their understanding of the time involved, I 
couldn’t have done it without you! Love you all!
—Philip Japikse
