Acknowledgments

First, I would like to thank Tejaswi Redkar, my colleague and mentor, who connected me with Apress and gave me the confidence to write. Without his encouragement, I am not sure if I would have ventured this journey. I would like to thank the Apress team, especially Jonathan Gennick and Mark Powers, for giving me the opportunity and putting up with me as a first—time writer. Robin Dewson, our technical reviewer, helped me tremendously to shape the content of this book.

I especially appreciate my husband for proofreading and correcting countless mistakes, even when he was tired and busy.
