Through the course of writing this book, I contacted many people who helped me to clarify many dark corners of Reactive Patterns and GoF patterns. First of all, many thanks to the reviewer of this book, Rajeev Kumar Mohan, who is a technology consultant and trainer.
Special thanks go to Naveen Jain, who helped me create some real-world scenarios for all GoF design patterns, as mentioned in the examples.
And of course, my thanks to my lovely wife Anamika for encouraging me and supporting me in the writing of this book. Also thanks to my dear son Arnav for playing mobile games with me; it made me feel refreshed at the time of writing this book.
Finally, this book took shape from the work of Packt editors, Lawrence Veigas and Karan, who guided me through the writing process and Supriya, who joined at the last stage of the publishing process and brought many suggestions on how to make the book better and more useful for readers.
