Prima facie, I am extremely grateful to my parents for being so understanding and supportive of my passion. If it weren't for their constant words of encouragement and belief in me, my dream of authoring my first book would have never come true. This book is dedicated to them, whose patience, love, and support enabled every keystroke.

I wish to sincerely thank my colleagues and friends who've been with me as my pillars of strength all the time. Their unceasing support kept me motivated throughout this journey.

I would like to extend a big thank you to the reviewers of my book and the various editors from Packt Publishing whose tremendous support and suggestions helped me in getting this book in the best possible shape.

Let me put on record my sense of gratitude to one and all for directly or indirectly lending their support to this venture.
