Acknowledgments
I acknowledge the atmosphere of optimism created by my near and dear ones making any effort in my life really smooth and easy. I appreciate the assistance and support by many people, knowingly or unknowingly, for making this book possible. I greatly value the discussion with my friends and colleagues who interacted with me for different IT projects during the writing of this book.
This book has seen working late in the evening and spending time away from my family; and I acknowledge their sacrifice, particularly my wife, Mita. It is also essential to note the contribution of my eight years-old son, Ayash, whose queries in his inimitable style while being told about ‘cloud computing’ have helped me stretch my imagination further and think of better examples. Above all, blessings and inspiration from my parents have made me work harder and better, an influence beyond any evaluation.
