Acknowledgement

Writing a book is not the accomplishment of one or two people, it involves a huge group of people behind the scenes to make it possible. Due to this, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge some important people in my life that without their support and help, writing this book would have been an impossible journey. I would like to start with my wonderful wife, mother of my four wonderful children; honey, without your enormous patience and support, nothing could be possible—even though at times you don't understand this fascinating journey and this fascinating world, my love, I dedicate this book to you! Secondly, my mother, my father and my well-remembered grandmother for everything you all taught me in my early years and the things I have seen because of you. And finally my good friends, Thomas Kyte, Arup Nanda, Aman Sharma (your support, help, and friendship is invaluable), Gokhan Atil, Wissem EL Khifi, Bjorn Naessens, Alessandro Parisi, Laurent Schneider, all editors, and everyone involved in the book, without your help and support throughout writing this book and even during my career, I would never have been able to finish writing this book.
