There are several people I would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who helped me not only in writing this book, but also those who were an inspiration to my professional growth, making me a better person.

Thanks to all those amazing people around me: my father, Mr. Musharraf Hussain, and my mother, Mrs. Rifat Hussain, who raised me with their best resources and provided a healthy foundation for my life. My teachers, who not only educated me with their best skills and knowledge, but also made me understand the tough lessons of life. Finally, my wife, Amber Muzzamil, and my daughters, Abeeha and Aroush, whose continuous and unconditional support was the biggest factor in making this book a reality.
