Billy, and Johnny, who had to put up with me locking myself away in my home office and not spending as much time with them as I'd like and they deserved —Bill Sheldon I’d like to dedicate this book to those in the software development community who put users first I’ve watched with regret as our profession has become inwardly focused, worrying far more about technology and process than what we can accomplish for our users and the businesses for which they work I salute those who invest the time and effort to deliver compelling and wonderful experiences to their users, and I hope the material I contributed to this book will help them that —Billy Hollis This book is dedicated to you, the reader Unless you didn’t pay for the book—in that case it’s dedicated to my Mom (love ya, Mom) —Rob Windsor To my son, Kevin —Gastón C Hillar For my wife, Amy Thank you for your support while I worked on this project I must also thank my son, Aidan, and daughter, Alaina, for their support and
