To all dreamers, know that there isn't always a clear path to achieving your dream. In addition to celebrating and rejoicing each milestone, there will be times of great sorrow and despair along the way. Nonetheless, keep moving toward your dream while being authentic, harmonious, and true to yourself. One day you'll see a sign, and you'll say to yourself with a smile, "I have arrived."

Nick Parlow is a Fujitsu Fellow and Distinguished Engineer, and has been an escalation engineer for Fujitsu in the UK for nearly 20 years, specializing in messaging technologies and networks. He has fixed stuff for central government, the Ministry of Defence, and his local school. He has master's degrees in network engineering from Sheffield Hallam University and software engineering from the University of Northumbria.

When he's not working, writing books, reviewing books, soldering things, or taking blurry photos of the night sky, he likes to play with chainsaws.

I'd like to thank the author, Lisa Bock, and the team at Packt for giving me the opportunity to do something that has been wholly enjoyable reviewing this great book. Most thanks, however, go to my long-suffering family and colleagues for giving me the time and support to do so. Thank you, Chris, Bryn, Jon, Caroline, Craig, and everybody else. You're brilliant.
