Writing a book is harder than I thought, and more rewarding than I could ever imagine. First, I would like to thank everyone at Packt Publishing who extended their support to me. Special thanks to Nathanya and Ayaan, the ever-patient editors, Girish a great Acquisition Editor who onboarded me, Utkarsha and Sonam who helped me improve the technical aspects of the book, and Gebin, the greatest Project manager. A big thanks to my parents, my siblings Amit and Anamika for always being there for me, and even to all my Gurus, Sikandar, Ashis, and Arjun due to whom I have reached here. This book would not have been possible without my amazing friends Divya, Pramod, and Ranjeet who made my life awesome, thanks for all the support you gave me while writing this book.

First, I want to thank God without who I would be unable to do all of this. Writing a book is harder than I thought, and more satisfying than I ever expected. Without my mate Sumit, none of this would be possible. During every war and all my successes, he stood by me and wrote the book. I would like to express my special gratitude to the members of my family, who gave me this golden opportunity to write this wonderful book, which has enabled me to learn so many new things. Last but not the least, I would like to thank everyone in the publishing team, without their constant support this book would have not been possible.
