I would like to express all my gratitude, affecttion, and professional respect to Ruggero Faggioni.
He was a colleague and a friend. He helped me discover my skills; he gave me the opportunity to grow as a GIS consultant. In the years we worked together, he was not only a boss, but also a kind tutor, and he taught me a lot.
I would like to dedicate this book to Ruggero, unfortunately he isn't there anymore to read it, but I am sure he would have liked it.
Stefano Iacovella
I would like to thank Jon Fisher from Auburn University Montgomery who ultimately led me to pursue a career in the Information Technology field. His patience, mentoring, and willingness to share his knowledge planted the seed that continues to grow today.
To Jim Carrier, the founder and my partner at IntelliTours for sharing the passion to explore the world around us through the use of GPS, story-telling, and writing.
My grandmother, mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law, and two nephews. They have seen my highs and lows during the process of writing this book and provided encouragement when I needed it most.
Also, it would be remiss if I didn't mention my dog Cooper, who has never been too far from me and my keyboard as I have written this book over many long nights and weekends.
