Acknowledgments

I would like to thank Waheguru Ji (the almighty God). With your blessings, I was able to complete this book. I know you are always with me when I am lost or when I lose hope, and almost give up. You hold my hand and show me the way. I pray to you that you do the same for every person in this world and bring love, peace, and harmony among mankind.

I dedicate this book to my beloved daughter, Manya Kaur, who is just two-and-a-half years old at the time of writing this book. One day, when you grow up, you'll be proud of your father. I want you to make this world a better place by sharing your knowledge with others. I love you and always will until eternity.

I would like to thank each and every member of the Dhally family who supported me throughout the process of writing this book. You all are rockstars of my life. I love you a lot and wouldn't be here without your support. I am thankful to God for such a beautiful and loving family.

Special thanks to Ben Griffiths who introduced me to PowerShell in 2010, which changed my life. I would like to dedicate this book to Ben too. Thanks for always being there for me.

Many thanks to my lovely friends who always encouraged me and believed in me. I would like to thank all my colleagues at the ICT department for their help and support. Special thanks to my bosses, Rohan Dhamija and David Creighton, who taught me some of the most valuable lessons of life.

I am really thankful to Larissa and Shweta from Packt Publishing. They are like angels, always supporting, encouraging, and inspiring; without their support, this book wouldn't have been published. I would also like to thank all the reviewers, Brian Denicola, Chrissy LeMaire, and Dmitriy Kataskin for their support and help.

Finally, a big thanks to the readers for purchasing this book. I hope you like it.

Keep dreaming, guys; they do come true: "A! Murky Ana".

 

This book is dedicated to my beloved daughter, Manya Kaur.
