acknowledgments
The most difficult thing about writing a book is not putting words together or thinking about grammar (which AI is quite good at). Instead, the most difficult thing is writing a book whose content resonates with the target audience.
That’s why my biggest thank you goes to the humans who went through this book’s draft and shared useful advice to improve it. This includes my developmental editor at Manning, Ian Hough and my technical editor, Artur Guja, risk manager, computer scientist, systems developer, and financial markets professional with over 20 years of experience in the banking sector. I’d also like to thank my acquisitions editor, Andy Waldron, and the wider Manning team who’ve been extremely helpful throughout the process.
