It's pronounced Diane. I do data architecture, operations, and backend development. In my spare time I maintain Massive.js, a data mapper for Node.js and PostgreSQL.
I'd just mention in the introduction that you're building on a lot of concepts so-and-so originally wrote about in such-and-such book. No point in making more work for yourself (and the reader) when nobody's checking blog posts for accurate MLA-format bibliographies. In-text citations might still be a good idea if/when you're referencing something in brief that the original author expounds on in more detail.

Yeah I agree with this. You're clearly proceeding in good faith.
