Writing a book is harder than I thought and more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. None of this would have been possible without the support of my family. I would like to especially thank my wife, Rekha; daughter, Lishika; and my son, Dhruv, for having patience with me for taking yet another challenge that decreases the amount of time I can spend with them. I would like to thank the whole team at Packt, and especially Nithin, for all their effort, and also would like to thank Abbas Attarwala for the technical help.
