I would like to extend my thanks to a number of people who have inspired and influenced me throughout my technical career. The Java, Spring, and Ember communities gave me the knowledge and confidence to write this book. I thank my parents; my wife, Shehida; and my daughters, Shireen, Shahreen, and Safa, who supported me and put up with me when I was busy writing the chapters; it was their precious time I was taking for this book. Special thanks to my friend Hamidreza, who is a great friend and colleague, and to the coordinators and reviewers at Packt Publishing, who made this book a wonderful resource for learning Spring.

First, I should thank the members of the open source community, who are far too many to name. I have been able to write this book by using their products, ideas, articles, and blogs. I would like to give special thanks to my friend Shameer P.K. for his significant role in writing this book.
