I would like to thank the folks at Packt Publishing for supporting me through my journey, especially my editors Martin Bell and Sweny Sukumaran for polishing up my prose making this book much easier to read. And many thanks to my technical reviewers who had really made this book a much better one through their constructive criticism.

Finally to my wife Sherry for being supportive and incredibly patient with me through the last several months; without her support this book would not be possible.
