I would like to gratefully and sincerely thank Mr. Vincent Kok for his guidance, understanding, patience, and most importantly, his friendship during my first job at Educator Inc. His mentorship has shaped me to become a well-rounded professional. He encouraged me to not only grow as a developer, but also as an independent thinker.
I want to take a moment and express my gratitude to the entire team at Packt Publishing for their patience and cooperation. When I signed up for this book, I really had no idea how things would turn out. I couldn't have pulled this off without their guidance.
I would like to express my gratitude to all my friends and family for providing me with unending encouragement and support. I owe every challenge and accomplishment to all my lovely colleagues who taught me a lot over the years.
A special thanks to Divya and Arun for their encouragement, friendship, and support. They were a strong shoulder to lean on in the most difficult times during the writing of this book.
Finally, and most importantly, I would like to thank my wife Manju who believes me more than myself. Her support, encouragement, quiet patience, and unwavering love were undeniably the bedrock upon which my life has been built.
