I would like to thank the gulp team for creating and supporting such a great tool. It has improved the lives of many developers and made our workflows far more efficient and enjoyable. More specifically, I would like to thank the team members, Eric Schoffstall and Blaine Bublitz, for their help with code reviews and mentoring me throughout my initial writings on gulp. 

The team at Packt has been essential to the success of the book, and I really appreciate all the help that they have given me. 

I would also like to thank my wife, Alaina, for supporting me throughout many late nights of writing. Her reviews and suggestions undoubtedly make this book far more enjoyable to read. 

Last but most certainly not least, I would like to thank you, the reader, for choosing this book as your introductory guide to gulp. I hope that it serves you well, and what you learn will benefit you for many years to come.
