I would like to thank my wife for putting up with my busy schedule and supporting me all the way.
This book would not have happened without her support. I would also like to thank my parents and
my mentors who helped me over the years and who believed in me. Without them, I would not have
reached to the place where I am now.
Without someone passing the knowledge to us, it makes it is more challenging to learn and
understand the concepts and I feel everyone is obligated to pass on the knowledge that they gain, back
to the community. This book, along with my blog, is a medium by which I would like to pass on the
knowledge to the community, and I hope this will prove to be helpful to everyone.
