I would like to thank everyone at Packt Publishing, particularly Douglas Paterson,

Patricia Weir, Nikhil Bangera, and Priyanka Baruah, and the technical reviewer,
Thomas Ose. This book wouldn’t have been a reality without your help. I would
especially like to thank my family for their support.

A special dedication goes to my wife and daughter.
