I would like to thank everyone at Packt who has been involved with this book. It all started when Ashish from Packt approached me to author a starter book in Mongo. I would like to thank him for giving me this opportunity. It has an excellent experience full of learning along the way. Being my first title, I struggled initially with the process of writing and submitting the content. If it hadn't been for Suraj, Sruthi, and Yogesh from Packt, I wouldn't have been able to deliver the content on time. Suraj and Sruthi showed great patience and helped me a great deal in formatting and organizing the content that I submitted.

A special thanks to Varad Meru, the technical reviewer of the book who agreed to review the contents at very short notice. If it hadn't been for him, who reviewed the content till late at night, we wouldn't have been in a position to go ahead with the publishing of the title on time. I would like to thank the technical editor, Pragati for her exceptionally quick turnaround time which helped get the book ahead into production in no time.

Finally I would like to thank the other staff from Packt who were involved in the book's publishing process but haven't interacted with me, my office colleagues who supported me a great deal, friends, and my mom, who I wasn't able to devote much time to owing to the schedules for the delivery of the content of the book.
