acknowledgments
We first want to thank Cynthia Kane, Kevin Sullivan, and Janet Vail, our development and project editors at Manning, who helped steer the project and ensure progress. We’d also like to thank our awesome proofreader, Corbin Collins, for turning our writing into an enjoyable reading experience. A big thank you to Susan Harkins, who helped us with our final review, ensuring our book meets the high standard you’d expect from a Manning title. The greater Manning team deserves kudos as well; they’ve made for a very pleasant writing experience over the past two years. We’d also like to thank Michael Stephens for getting in touch with us again and pitching the idea of a second edition. Special thanks to Alain Couniot for being our technical proofreader, catching those bugs we missed, and helping improve the source code for the book.
Big thanks to our team of reviewers, who provided invaluable feedback during various stages of the book’s development: Andrea Barisone, Ethien Daniel Salinas Dominquez, Fabrizio Cucci, Gregor Zurowski, Grzegorz Grzybek, Ivan Brencsics, José Diaz, Mark Stofferahn, Philippe Van Bergen, Phillip A. Sorensen, Rambabu Posa, Rick Wagner, Tobias Kilian, Werner Aernouts, and Yan Guo.
