Acknowledgement

First and foremost, I would like to thank God for giving me the power to believe in my passion and pursue my dreams. I could never have done this without the faith I have in you, the Almighty.

To my parents, Masood and Naseem, for what I am today. I can barely find the right words to express all the wisdom, love, and support you have given me. I cannot forget the sacrifices and hardships you both have gone through just to see me smiling. You are the best parents one could wish for.

To my wonderful wife, Nazia. Your patient love enabled me to complete this work. You have always been supportive and motivating in continuing me to improve my knowledge and move ahead in my career.

To my daughters, Maria, Nida, and Zoha. You are the best children any dad could hope for — sweet, loving, and fun to be with. It's wonderful to watch you grow.

To my friends. You guys have given me the best support when I really needed it. Your silly jokes made me cheerful when I was down. Thanks for staying in touch even when I ignored you guys for a while and for listening to my boring topics for hours together.

Last but not least, the Packt team, thanks a bunch for all of you involved in the production and printing of this book.
