I would like to thank the team at Packt Publishing—most of all for giving me this opportunity to write a book and also for taking care of schedules, providing support, guidance and feedback, and keeping me on track the whole way.

I would also like to thank all of the reviewers for taking the time to read, correct, and provide valuable feedback to the book throughout the writing process.

Lastly, I want to thank Despina—for making sure I never ran out of coffee on the countless evenings I spent sitting in front of the keyboard instead of with her and the children. I dedicate this book to her.
