More special thanks to all the reviewers who gave their valuable time, intellect, and feedback to remove errors from the manuscript and for their suggestions for improvement.
I also convey my thanks to family members, friends, and well-wishers who supported me to create this book so that it can reach those who need it to learn coding and creating apps.
