Acknowledgments
This book wouldn’t exist without the help of others; as you can see below, I had a lot of help. Thank you to everyone who helped me craft this manuscript, including:
The Cordova dev team for their patience and support as I asked all of my silly questions.
Raman Sethi, Bobby Anchanattu, Changhoon Baek, Rob Close, Ashwin Desai, Alan Kinzie, Pete Kong, Jonathan Li, Marcus Pridham, Dan Van Leeuwen, and my other colleagues at SAP for continuing to teach me new things about Apache Cordova every day.
Colleagues Marcus Pridham and Ashwin Desai for again helping me sort out issues with the plugin examples used in the book.
Brian LeRoux, Steven Gill, Dave Johnson, and Michael Brooks from Adobe for helping me through some issues and reviewing the PhoneGap-related chapters.
Andrew Grieve from Google for helping me decide whether to cover ADT or Android Studio in this version of the book. Turns out I made the wrong choice, but there’s not much I can do about that now.
Olivier Block, Eric Mittelette, Parashuram Narasimhan, and Sergey Grebnov from Microsoft for helping me through some issues, reviewing the Windows chapter, and providing me with a device to use for testing applications.
Piotr Zalewa from Mozilla for answering my questions and reviewing the Firefox OS chapter.
Gorkem Ercan from Red Hat for getting me started with THyM.
David Pitkin, David Barth, Maxim Ermilov, and Jean-François Moy from Ubuntu for answering my questions, reviewing the Ubuntu chapter, and providing me with a device to use for application testing.
Ashwin Desai for doing yet another excellent technical review of the manuscript. You’ve got to love it when the tech reviewer treats the book like his own work and even makes sure that the comments in the sample source code are correct.
Greg Doench, Michelle Housley, and Chris Zahn for all their help with this project.
Julie Nahil, Susan Brown Zahn, Anna Popick, and Barbara Wood for their help producing the book.
My managers at SAP for supporting this endeavor.
