Brand Hunt’s Acknowledgments
To my wife Michelle, without your continued support and love, I wouldn’t be a part of this project. I’m appreciative for every moment we’ve shared and your forgiveness for my keeping you awake at night with the “tappity-tap-taps” emanating from the computer.
To my parents Rex and Jackie, the two biggest influences in everything I’ve ever done correctly — especially those things that frequently take multiple attempts (like writing!)
A huge thanks to my teammates Kevin, Daniel, and Jonathan for letting me participate in this project and exercising so much patience tutoring a first time O’Reilly author. Your professionalism, work ethic, and ability to make the most tedious tasks fun is so admirable I plan to steal it and adopt it as my own!
