I would like to thank my family, especially my wife and daughter, for putting up with my late night / early morning writing sessions. Without your support, this book would not have been possible. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

I would also like to thank Xebia IT Architects, India, because if it were not for the inspiration that I got in Xebia IT Architects, India, I would have never thought of writing a book, let alone finishing it on time. All credit goes to the Xebia DNA. Thank you, Xebia!!
