There are a few people I want to thank for the continued and ongoing support they have given me during the writing of this book. First and foremost, I would like to thank Akshay Aher, a good friend, without whose encouragement I would have never started iOS development.

I am grateful to all the different places where I worked throughout my career. I learned a lot while working on different and challenging projects. I would also like to thank all my colleagues at Benchmark IT solutions, POS Nirvana, and Cognizant. I am grateful to my current company Ausy, France for allowing me to write this book and accommodating it in my working contract. Thank you for all hidden support provided. I am also thankful to all the bad experiences and critics I met during my professional life. Without you, I would not have worked harder and stayed more focused.

I would like to gratefully acknowledge Mr. Rudra Misra for his kind technical scrutiny of this book. My gratitude also goes to the team at BPB Publications for being supportive enough to let me take the creative liberty while writing the book and providing valuable feedback on the writing aspects.
