I would like to thank my wife, Swati Gupta, for her love, kindness, and support she has shown during the past few weeks it has taken me to review this book. Furthermore I would also like to thank my parents for their endless love and support. I would also like to thank João Santos for writing such a great book, which I enjoyed reading more than simply reviewing. Last but not least, I would like to thank the Packt Publishing team for choosing me as one of the reviewers of this book and helping me out to complete the review of this book

This book is more like a mystery with secrets in every chapter. Don't miss out on your chance to explore them.

Neb Radojkovic comes from a technical family. Neb started technical (manual) drafting straight after high school in 1979. Over the years and while using his other skills, such as model making and painting, in 1990, Neb was introduced to AutoCAD.

His first job as an AutoCAD Operator was in the Doors and Windows manufacturing firm. Soon enough Neb was in search of more challenge, so he became a sole AutoCAD Draftsperson in a Kitchen Manufacturing business.
