Acknowledgments

I wish to dedicate this book to both my loving parents, Ma and Paa. Thank you for all your love, support, encouragement, and patience—I know you need a lot of it when dealing with me! I would also like to extend my thanks to my best buddy and brother, Mitesh Soni, who not only taught me blogging and authoring but has also been a strong source of moral support and guidance ever since.

I would also like to thank the entire Packt Publishing team, especially Hemal Desai and Gaurav Sharma, for their excellent support, guidance, and patience. Last but not least, a special few who also made a difference towards the completion of this book in their own ways are Karthic Kumar, Nikhil Madhava, Dave Fitzjarrell, and Yashvardhan Vyas. Thank you for all your support.

And finally, to someone who really made a big difference in my life—my knight in shining black armour. Miss you a lot, my Xena. Wish you were here.
