To my parents, for their commitment to guiding me on the right career path at every little step. To my wife and son, for being very supportive and sacrificing their needs to assist me on this book journey. Finally, to my close friend and buddy, Prabu Soundarrajan, who helped shape my technical perception for this book and beyond.
