17 Acknowledgments My ongoing journey with software development has been overwhelming and yet thoroughly enjoyable. Along the way, I have been trained and mentored by individuals, institutions, organizations, and last but not least, software developer communities. nghyderabad and GDG Hyderabad (Google Developer Groups) are two developer communities in my city that have had an enormously positive influence on me. The communities include engaging discussions, sharing of ideas, and proactive volunteering efforts from each member. They created an opportunity for showcasing my knowledge. This book is a direct result of my interactions and learning with the communities. I thank CDK Global for providing initial direction, space, and the opportunity for learning the latest programming languages and tools. xvii
