I would like to dedicate this book to my wife, Sneha, who has canceled outdoor trips, stayed at home for multiple weekends, read early drafts of chapters, and even patiently listened to me rant about how difficult it is to write a book. She did all of that and more with a smile on her face. This is only a testament to the fact that she is the most amazing person I know.
I would also like to dedicate this to my parents, Ranjan and Surendra Jain, who have given me nothing but unconditional love and unparalleled support. Their profound belief in my abilities has motivated and encouraged me to take up this massive project.
Lastly, I would like to thank my in-laws, Sudarshana and Pravin Runwal and my sister and brother in-law Ankita and Yash Gandhi for their constant support throughout this book.

I would like to dedicate this book to Rhea Henriques from Packt for working remotely with me for many hours extending well beyond work hours, into late nights and early mornings, to provide quality content for the readers.

I would like to dedicate this book to my PhD supervisors, Prof. Enakshi Khular Sharma and Prof. Wolfgang Freude, for teaching me the importance of doubt, taking joy in solving little problems, never giving up.
