About the author

Shalabh Aggarwal has more than 10 years' experience in developing and managing enterprise systems, as well as web and mobile applications for small-to large-scale industries. He started his career working on Python, and although he now works on multiple technologies, he remains a Python developer at heart. He is passionate about open source technologies and writes highly readable and quality code.

He is also active in voluntary training for engineering students on non-conventional and open source topics. When not working with full-time assignments, he consults for start-ups on leveraging different technologies. When not writing code, he writes technical and non-technical literature, which is published across multiple blogs.

I would like to dedicate this book to my late father, who will always be there in my thoughts for the love and encouragement he gave me to explore new things in life. I would like to thank my family, my wife, and my mother for putting up with me during my long writing and research sessions. I would also like to thank my friends and colleagues who encouraged me and kept the momentum going.
