Acknowledgments

There are four names on the cover as authors, but, as ever, writing and producing this book has been a tremendous undertaking by a large cast.

We’d like to begin our thanks with Michael Stephens from Manning for getting this project started and for his continuing support and honesty about the amount of work the book would take, even though at least two of us should have known better!

Our thanks also to publisher Marjan Bace for greenlighting the project and heading up a great team at Manning. That team included some familiar faces and some new ones, but always of the same outstanding quality and helpfulness. This includes the fantastic work from Jeff Bleiel, Mary Piergies, Linda Recktenwald, Tara Walsh, Tiffany Taylor, and Marija Tudor. Thanks to all of you for being part of this team and seeing yet another edition of GWT in Action smoothly through the publication process.

We also want to thank Levi Bracken for being our technical proofreader. We’ll never underestimate the work that a technical review takes in terms of time and effort, and we also acknowledge the invaluable improvements the output required us to make!
