Acknowledgments

I would like to dedicate this book to my family, especially my father, mother, and wife. My father is my role model and I cannot find words to thank him enough, and I'm missing him as he passed away last year. My wife and mother have supported me throughout my life. I'd also like to dedicate this book to a special one whom we are expecting this July. Packt Publishing has been very kind and supportive, and I would like to thank all the individuals who were involved in editing, reviewing, and publishing this book. Some of the content was taken from my experiences, research, studies, and from the audiences of some of my trainings. I would like to thank my audience who found the book worth reading and hope that you gain the knowledge and help and implement them in your projects.
