I would like to express my gratitude to the people who saw me through this book, to all those who provided support, talked things over, read, wrote, offered comments, allowed me to quote their remarks, and assisted in the editing, proofreading, and design.

I want to thank my wife, Sandhya, who supported and encouraged me in spite of all the time it took me away from her. It was a long and difficult journey for her.

I would like to thank Grant Mizen, Stephanie Moss, Ameya Sawant, and Poonam Jain for helping me with the process of selection and editing.

Thanks to Packt Publishing for giving me the opportunity to help and guide new users of ADF with my book.
