Acknowledgments
Powerful Command-Line Applications in Go — by Ricardo Gerardi (3 / 127)
To start, I want to thank my late wife Kassia for her love and support during the 25 years we spent together. Kassia always believed in me, and she encouraged me to write this book. She kept pushing me to work on it even after she was diagnosed with incurable cancer. Kassia was an inspiring and brave woman who conquered cancer. Not because she was cured — sadly, she wasn’t — but because she never let cancer change her, and she continued to inspire all those around her. Writing this book throughout her journey with cancer, and then throughout my own grief was a challenging task.
Thank you to my daughters Gisele, Livia, Elena, and Alice for your love, support, and courage.
Thank you, Brian Hogan, for editing this book and for helping me find its real soul. Thank you also for your patience and understanding with all the difficulties I faced while writing this book. You’re a great mentor and a wonderful human being. I have learned a great deal from you.
Thank you, Andy Hunt and The Pragmatic Bookshelf, for publishing this book. You made a long-time dream come true.
Thank you, Tim Anema, Robert Bost, Ilija Eftimov, Mike Fridman, Philip Pearl, Petko Petkov, Renato Suero, and Will Langford, for reviewing the draft of this book, catching errors, and helping me improve it. This book wouldn’t be what it is without…
