Authors Acknowledgments

Subbu Iyler: I would like to thank my wife Manju, and daughter Anoushka, for their constant motivation, encouragement, and support throughout the writing of this book.

Ashwin Krishnan: I would like to thank Radhika, my wife; Ananya, my daughter; and Jackie, our dog for supporting me through the process of creating this book while I was ostensibly doing chores to write it, including walking the dog (sorry Jackie). Thanks for putting up with my vagaries. And to my mom, Indira Ananthakrishnan, who is a renowned author herself, for instilling in me some of your book writing genes.

To the numero uno team at Wiley for providing excellent feedback throughout the process and helping get the book into its final finished form.

And finally to our Juniper in-house editor-in-chief, Patrick Ames, who helped instigate the idea of writing the book and cajoled, threatened, and pleaded with us throughout the course without you this book never would have happened.
