It has been my pleasure to work with the Packt team, and I am thankful to them for
providing me with such a wonderful opportunity. I am also thankful to my co-author
Mohit for his invaluable help. Finally, I am thankful to my family who just helped me to
timely complete the work. Well, this work would not have been possible without the newly
devised CDP tool, so a great thanks should be given to it and also to all the resources that
helped in the timely completion of this book.
