Yakov would like to thank his best friend Sammy for creating a warm and cozy environment while he was working on this book. Unfortunately, Sammy can’t talk, but like any dog, he loves all his family members more than they love themselves.
Anton would like to thank the authors of and contributors to the open source projects used in this book. Without the numerous hours they regularly dedicate to the projects, and their constant work growing and supporting communities, this book wouldn’t be possible. He’s also grateful to his family for being patient while he was working on the book.

Spillner, Kevin Orr, Lucas Pardue, Marko Letic, Matteo Battista, Paul Brown, Polina Keselman, Richard Tuttle, Srihari Sridharan, Tamara Forza, and Thomas Overby Hansen.
