My parents and my brother Dennis, who have been a strong support to me while I worked long hours to complete this book. They really helped me bring out the best in the book. Thank you, dear parents, for your support.

My project manager, Anita Sastry, has worked meticulously, reviewing and giving valuable inputs to the book. Without her help, the book would not have been in its present form.

Thank you, Ginny Kaczmarek, for editing the book so well. Your valuable inputs on the book make it a wonderful book! I would also like to thank Stacy Hiquet for making this book happen in the first place. She has provided active support in all developmental stages of the book.

My special thanks also go out to Tanuj Jain and Pankaj Sharan who provided valuable technical inputs for the book. I would also like to thank Pallavi Jain and Harpreet Sethi for helping me out with some important chapters of the book.
