I would really like to thank the team at Packt Publishing for all their support and assistance in making this book so easy and enjoyable to write. It has been a joy working with the team, which is composed of nothing but dedicated professionals. I would especially like to thank Reshma Raman and Jason Pereira. Reshma, the Senior Acquisition Editor, understood and agreed with the vision I had for this book. Jason, the Content Development Editor, has been a joy to work with and has worked hard assisting me when needed. Of course, no book would ever make it past the first draft if it were not for the dedication and hard work of the reviewers. So I would also like to make a special thanks to all the dedicated and hard work of the reviewers. Writing a book would not be possible if I didn't have the support of my family and friends, Especially, with the help of my little tester and ideas contributor, Ava, who has been a great asset in developing several of the books exercises. Yet, none of this would be possible without the help and support of Rhonda. Rhonda has been gracious enough to draw some of the initial diagrams, lend her musical ear, and help with those first draft reviews. I found this book a pleasure to write, and none of it would have been possible without any of the people I mentioned above.
