I would like to thank my savior and lord, Jesus Christ, for giving me the strength and courage to pursue this project; to my dearest wife, Mayte; our two lovely sons, Ruben and Dario; my dear father, Ruben; my dearest mom Rosalia; my brother, Juan Tomas; and my sister, Rosalia, whom I love. This is for all their support while reviewing this book, for allowing me to pursue my dream and tolerating not being with them after my busy day. I'm very grateful to Packt Publishing for giving the opportunity to collaborate as an author and reviewer and join to this honest and professional team.
