I would also like to thank my girlfriend, Harani, who had to tolerate the way-too-long writing nights, and friends who provided company and support throughout. Also, as always, I'd love to thank my parents for giving me the opportunity to pursue my ambitions.Lastly, I would like to thank Blenz coffee for powering the execution engine of this book through electricity and caffeine.
