Although the book bears my name as the author, many people contributed to its success and creation. I believe without their help and contribution this book wouldn't have been possible. Kenyon Brown was the acquisitions editor; he helped me to get the book started. Melissa Burlock, editorial assistant, was always available to help and answer my questions. Mahalingam M was the technical editor; he was very helpful in giving constructive feedback on the technical content and concepts; nevertheless, any mistakes that remain are my own. Kim was the copy editor, and Janet was the proofreader; they helped me to correct any grammatical mistakes, formatting issues, and typos. I would also like to thank my manager, Monty Pattan, for empowering and motivating me. Last but not least, I would like to extend my gratitude to my family, mentors, friends, colleagues, and everyone who helped directly or indirectly toward the success of this book.
