Writing this book was both an achievement and challenge I wanted to do. I would like to thank my parents and brother, best friends Matthias Sparshot, Bianca Sparshot, and Godson Georges, as well as all my family and friends for giving me the time to write this. I would also like to thank my technical reviewer, John Bloomfield, who I've worked with and know well, Matt Glaman for his encouragement and support throughout, and everyone at Packt, especially Aditi Gour (content editor), Shweta Jadhav (technical editor), and Siddharth Mandal (acquisition editor). Finally, as this book was in its final review stage, I reached my nine-year Drupal anniversary. Thank you for buying this book. You can follow me on Twitter as well at
