I would like to thank the Packt team for their excellent, professional
support, and a special thanks to David Barnes without whose
support this book would not have been started and got into shape.
I would also like to thank Usha Iyer, Bhupali Khule, and Rajashree
Hamine who have helped me throughout the whole process. I
express my heartiest gratitude to the reviewers, Niko Kotiniemi and
Tom Canavan, for providing insightful comments on the rst drafts
of this book.
