While this book cannot guarantee the above results, the content should provide an automation engineer with a proven path to career and technical success. So much of the automation field depends upon experience, and many feel that experience can only come with gray, thinning hair and lots of wrinkles. However, with this book, we invite you to take full advantage of two lifetimes of hard-fought lessons learned and avoid many of the technical and career pitfalls made by the authors.

With 60 years of automation and control experience, we&&&8212;Greg McMillan and Hunter Vegas&&&8212;have installed hundreds of millions of dollars&&&8217; worth of equipment and managed thousands of projects. We have witnessed (and occasionally committed) a whole host of blunders, and we have the scars and gray hair to prove it. Fortunately for you, we are willing to share what works and what doesn&&&8217;t work so that the next generation can benefit.

So&&&8230; save your hair! Avoid premature aging! And most importantly, save yourself a whole lot of pain and suffering! We sure wish we&&&8217;d had a book like this when we started.
