The first big thanks goes to the authors and contributors of this book. Their effort, patience and encouragement resulted in the pages you are actually reading. Thank you for your trust in this project and helping me to finalize it.

However, this book could not be possible without Niall Kennedy (Emerald Group), who supported and encouraged the idea since the very first moment. I could not do anything without his enthusiasm in this project.

Finally, I want to thank Luke Devereux. He did not actually write for this book, but he supported me in many aspects. Hopefully, he will do it again also for my next books.
