To begin with, I credit my parents who have always nurtured my dreams and constantly supported me in making them come true. I thank my wife, Aakanksha, and my in-laws, who have trusted my dynamic decisions while I hopped cities and organizations with the aim of improving my career. I sincerely thank Mr. Sudarshan Shetty, my guide, because of whom I got engrossed in Java and Android. His teachings have brought me a long way. I am sure there is much more to explore. I owe a lot to my best buddies, Saurabh Lele and Rahul Gangal, since it was all because of them that I decided to get into this field of programming. The journey would have been incomplete without my colleagues and mentors Rishi and Vishal from whom I learnt what a passion for programming really is! Last but not least, I would like to thank Packt Publishing for offering me this opportunity.
