Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I would like to thank my wife and kids. Without their patience and encouragement, this book would never have been published. The same goes for my employer EVRY, who has been very supportive of this project.

I would also like to thank Packt Publishing for giving me the opportunity to become a published author, especially Neha Nagwekar (Acquisition Editor), Sageer Parkar (Project Coordinator), and Arvind Koul (Content Development Editor).

Special thanks to the technical reviewer who has taken time out of his very busy schedule to assist me in improving the content of the book. I know a project like this consumes large amount of time; your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Last but not least—look mom, I'm an author!
