I would like to take the chance to dedicate this book to the soul of my dad and to thank my mom for her love, encouragement, and prayers. To my sisters Shereen and Dalia, and my brother Amr, thank you so much for the usual support, feedback, guidance, and for being proud of me.
To Israa, the best wife in the world, thanks for your love, support, and patience during the long days and nights I have spent writing this book. I could not have done this without you.
To my dear son Yahia, you were the hidden source of inspiration to complete this book. Keep it up my son, I need this again in future engagements.
To Prof. Ahmed Bahaa, Refaat Issa, and Sherif Tawfik, thanks for everything you taught me for building the unique, professional, persistent, and challenging person inside me. I really can't thank you enough for the support, advice, trust, and belief you had in me.
Last but not the least, thank you Packt Publishing for giving me the chance to write this book. I'd also thank every team member who contributed to this project. Rukhsana, Arshad, Dayan, the external reviewers, and the other guys whom I didn't meet—your contributions were invaluable and this book wouldn't be what it is without you.
