Burhan Khalid has always been tinkering with technology from his early days of XT to writing JCL on the ISPF editor, C and C++, Java, Pascal, and COBOL, to his latest favorite, Python. As a lover of technology, he is most comfortable experimenting with the next big technology stack.

By day, he works at a multinational bank in the alternative channels unit, where he gets to hack, develop, and test applications that help execute transactions across all sectors of electronic devices and channels. In addition to his work, he also contributes to open source projects. Burhan has also released a few toolkits for transaction processing.

He is an avid volunteer and has mentored Sirdab Lab (a start-up accelerator). Burhan is a frequent speaker at the local Google Developer Groups, a presenter and volunteer at StartupQ8, a start-up community. He is also actively involved with StackOverflow.

In his free time, you can find him splitting time nurturing his other passions—flight, by scheduling time in flight simulators, and photography, by uploading images to his Flickr feed.

I would like to thank my mother and father for always encouraging me; my wife for putting up with my long days at the keyboard and my ever - growing gadget collection; and my friends and colleagues for providing me with new challenges to sharpen my skills.

Special thanks to Lalith Polepeddi for contributing to the book at a stage where we needed it the most.
