Dedications

This book is dedicated to Edythe, who provided life; Stacey, who shares it; and Robin and Rachel, who give it purpose.

—Jesse Liberty

This book is dedicated to my dad, who’s currently teaching himself something a lot harder than computer programming: how to walk again after spinal surgery. Through the many months of rehab, you’ve been an inspiration. I’ve never known someone with as much indefatigable determination to fix the hitch in his giddy-up.

—Rogers Cadenhead
