I would like to thank my wife, Gayathri, for supporting me and for helping me squeeze out the extra time needed to finish this book.

I would also like to thank my mother Mythili, my father Swaminathan, and my sister Priyanka for all their support and well wishes.

Finally, I would like to thank my employer, ThoughtWorks Inc., and also all my colleagues without whom I would not have had the knowledge and the experience to write this book.
