Dedications

From David Hanes:

To my loving wife, Holly, my best friend, inspiration, and biggest fan, whose unconditional love, support, and selflessness are the foundation for all the successes and achievements in my life, and to my amazing children, Haley, Hannah, and Kyle, who are true joys and blessings and ensure that my life never has a dull moment.

I would also like to dedicate this book to my wonderful parents—to my Dad for instilling in me a love of learning and always challenging me to push to new heights, and to my Mom for providing the encouragement and confidence to reach those heights.

From Gonzalo Salgueiro:

This book is dedicated to my family. First and foremost, to my loving wife and best friend, Becky, who is my inspiration and makes every day a dream come true. It’s always been you—then, now, and forever. To our four amazing children: Alejandro, Sofia, Gabriela, and Mateo. They fill my life with immeasurable joy, wonder, and purpose. I love you all.

I also dedicate this book to my parents, Alberto and Elena, who are my inspiration and to whom I owe everything for all that I am today. I simply don’t have the words to express my eternal gratitude for all you have sacrificed and given on my behalf.

Finally, I dedicate this book to my grandmother, Nelida, whom we tragically lost this past year. Only recently have I realized the extent to which my life is filled with the fingerprints of her kindness and grace.

From Patrick Grossetete:

To Mya and all new generations that will live with the Internet of Things.

From Rob Barton:

First, I would like to dedicate this book to my beautiful wife, Loretta. You have been my biggest supporter and cheerleader and have taught me so much over the past 20 years. Without your unending encouragement (not to mention your extreme patience and willingness to share my time with another book project), this undertaking would never have happened. Thanks to your loving support, I find myself in a position where I can pass on what I have learned to the next generation of Internet engineers. .

I also want to dedicate this book to my parents, Richard and Peggy. It’s thanks to mom and dad that I began to develop my interest in science and engineering, beginning with my first Lego set when I was four years old, down to the many hours Dad and I spent discussing physics and calculus and watching The Mechanical Universe together when I was a teenager.

I love you all so much!

From Jerome Henry:

This book is dedicated to my children, Ines and Hermes. Your curious minds stimulate my research every day.
