INTRODUCTION

Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions—why am I doing it, what the results might be, and will I be successful. Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead.—Chanakya

Before answering the three questions Chanakya, a philosopher from India, posed in his quote, I’ll first ask you: Why are you reading this? What results might you obtain? And will you be successful? As you will soon discover, the you in this book encompasses a larger group. This introduction outlines my intent, my experience and background in the industry, my hopes for what you will get from it, and how I’ve organized it.
