I am indebted to Beryl Samba, for her moral support and for the free English grammar tips and consultation all through the process of writing this book. Without her encouragement, support, and lessons, this piece would never have seen the printer beyond page one. Thank you so much.
I would like to thank Priyanka as well, for scouting and being able to sniff my work from way across the world through my blog and for the endless support and kind introductions to all the wonderful folks at Packt Publishing.
