Acknowledgements Being used to blogging as my primary outlet of technical content, writing a book was an endeavor I am not accustomed to. To help me achieve readable and technically correct content I have been supported by Doug Mahugh and Mauricio Ordonez, without whom this book would have taken a lot longer to complete. Due to their combined effort this book has greatly improved. Thanks to both of you for the time you put in. iv Foreword Foreword I first noticed the name Wouter Van Vugt in April
