Acknowledgements

This is my fourth book, and I can't thank the Almighty, enough without whom this wouldn't have been true. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my wife, Sneha, my parents, Avinash and Manisha Deshpande, and my brother, Sakalya Deshpande, for being with me through thick and thin. Without you, I am nothing!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues, friends, and family for appreciating my work and making it a grand success so far. I'm truly blessed to have each one of you in my life.

I am thankful to the authors of the first edition of this book, Jonathan R. Owens, Brian Femino, and Jon Lentz for setting the stage for me, and I hope this effort lives up to the expectations you had set in the first edition. I am also thankful to each person in Packt Publishing who has worked to make this book happen! You guys are family to me!

Above all, I am thankful to my readers for their love, appreciation, and criticism, and I assure you that I have tried to give you my best. Hope you enjoy this book! Happy learning!
