These awesome people all helped raise the quality level and get the book released. Opportunities like speaking at #RailsConf were in part due to their contributions. Thank you!.
@pragprog I have so many people to thank! Thank you to Beta buyers and readers. To get this book shipped, the 35 folks named here helped both with improving the book itself: accuracy, quality, usefulness, & readability, but also by motivating, encouraging, and supporting me. TY so much!
