I would like to dedicate this book to the team at Packt, who helped me through each step of the way and were very accommodating and understanding of the difficulties I was going through in my personal life while working on this book. They have been a truly great team that has encouraged me each step of the way. I could not have written this book without their expertise and guidance.

I would also like to dedicate this book to my wonderful parents, who had to suffer long periods without me as I spent many a long night and many weekends on this book, but who encouraged me to keep going through difficult times.

I would like to send a warm thank you to Joy and Gianni, who reviewed the chapters for me. Their attention to detail was excellent, and they would often let me know when things needed improving or when I had left something out. Because of them, the content of this book, I feel, will be of great benefit to programmers and developers at all levels. I happily recommend them as reviewers to any budding authors.
