Acknowledgement

To my loving wife and "bestest buddy" Jacqui; without you I would not be the person I am today. You keep me grounded, while I dream my biggest dreams. I would also like to thank my mother Carillon Faery who is a gift to the planet for her constant love and energy. Mum, you give me inspiration. I also dedicate this book to my children, Brooke, Jodie, Carly and Mike who in their own unique ways give me encouragement, enjoyment and individual insights. I would also like to thank my brother Jaime, who believes in me so much and encourages me to write more often.

I thank the colleagues who reviewed my book, Owen Chung, Prabu Swamidurai, and James Thomas. Thanks guys, you helped me ensure that the content was accurate.

I would also like to thank the following Packt Publishing staff: Sarah Cullington, who helped me find my writing style; Leena Purkait—Project Coordinator, who kept me on the ball with timings; and Ved Prakash Jha—Development Editor, who helped me keep my writing in form and to the point.
