Dedications

From Omar

I would like to dedicate this book to my lovely wife, Jeannette, and my two beautiful children, Hannah and Derek, who have inspired and supported me throughout the development of this book.

I also dedicate this book to my father, Jose; and in memory of my mother, Generosa. Without their knowledge, wisdom, and guidance, I would not have the goals that I strive to achieve today.

From John

I would like to dedicate this book to my wife, Diane, and my two wonderful children, Tommy and Allison, who have had to put up with more (than usual!) late night and weekend hours with me on my laptop during the development of this book.

I also want to dedicate this book as a thank you to those friends and family who provided inspiration and support through their genuine interest in the progress of the book.

Finally, I want to thank Omar for convincing me to help him as a co-author on this book. Although the process was arduous at times, it was a blessing to be able to work together on this effort with someone as dedicated, intelligent, and motivated as Omar.
