First, I should thank the open source community that is too large to name. Definitely without using the products, ideas, articles, and web log of this community, I would have never been able to write this book. Besides, I would like to thank my friend, Shameer P.K., for his cooperation in writing this book.

He is interested in various mobile platforms, including Android, Blackberry, and other cross-platform mobile frameworks that are in the market these days.
After graduating from Calicut University, India, in 2000, Shameer handled different roles in software engineering. He earned his Master's degree in Software Engineering from Heriot Watt University of UK (Dubai campus) in 2009. He has worked for Wellogic ME, at Dubai Internet City. At present, he works as a Solutions Architect in Dubai, UAE, and is a guest lecturer at Heriot Watt University for Post Graduate students in Information Technology.
He maintains the blog http://justcompiled.blogspot.com.
I would like to thank a number of people who encouraged me to write this book and reviewed my blog (http://justcompiled.blogspot.com), which was a route to this book. I thank my wife Shehida, and my daughters Shireen and Shahreen, who were supporting me and bearing with me when I was busy writing the chapters. It was their precious time I was utilizing for this book. Also, I would like to thank my friend, Hamidreza Sattari, who is a great friend and colleague; without his support and hard work, I wouldn't have taken up this challenge. I extend my thanks to all those who contributed to my knowledge and passion towards technology to make me capable of writing this book.
