iii. Dedications

“To my wife, Emily, and my sons, Noah and Daniel - you are my reason for being, and you drive me to succeed every day. To my dad, Robert, and my mom, Julie - thank you for the repeated reminders to do what I love and what comes naturally. Finally, thanks to the wonderful team at raywenderlich.com - you are the best!”

“To my mother, Luciane, who always cared for me and did everything she could to ensure my well-being and happiness. To my father, Julio Cesar, who always told me I could do anything as long as I put my mind to it. To my brother, Otávio, who’s always taking care of me in his own way. To my partner, Nathália, for the unbelievable patience withstanding long nights while I was writing this book, but never stopped giving me love and support. To my good friend, Victor, for being an unbelievable companion and always being by my side. And finally, to the entire Real-World iOS by Tutorials team, who helped get this book done and never stopped supporting me. Without them, this book would not be possible.”
