Acknowledgments

I am indebted to a great many people who have contributed to the development and production of this book. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my editor, Jonathan Gennick. Jonathan’s vision for this book, close attention to details, and exceptional editing skills are the reasons this book is here today.

My sincere thanks go to our technical reviewers. Arup Nanda, John Kanagaraj, Mladen Gogala, and Anthony Molinaro generously gave their valuable time to read and comment on a draft copy of this book. Their contributions have greatly improved its accuracy, readability, and value.

This book certainly would not have been possible without a lot of hard work and support from the skillful staff at O’Reilly, including Claire Cloutier, Mary Anne Weeks Mayo, Jamie Peppard, Marlowe Shaeffer, Mary Agner, Julie Hawks, and Reg Aubry.

Sincere thanks to my coworkers at Handango for their support and encouragement. Special thanks to my wife Sudipti for tolerating me during yet another book writing exercise.
