ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

MANY THANKS to Andrew Montalenti for taking on the technical editing, and, of course, the editors at Wiley, Carol Long and Edward Connor. A special thanks to Lynn Haller: without her, this project wouldn’t have come together. Also, PJ Cabrera for both helping me kickstart my writing career and introducing me to jQuery.

Thanks to the Hacker Dojo for providing such an amazing coworking space, and to the dojo members who contributed input.

I’m also grateful to my friends and family for their support and input, most notably Paul Wayland, Alejandro Valsega, and Valerie Voigt.

I’D LIKE TO THANK the folks at Wiley for giving me this opportunity and especially Carol Long and Edward Connor for helping me hit the ground running. I’d be crazy not to mention our copy editor, Kim Cofer, and Andrew Montalenti, our technical editor. Without them, we’d be working without a spotter. Knowing they’re there to catch us when we stumble makes this a lot easier. I’d also like to thank Renée Midrack and Lynn Haller from Studio B for steering me towards the opportunity in the first place.

I definitely want to thank the jQuery team and community for being generally phenomenal. Here’s a big high five to all the great front-end engineers I’ve worked with at Cramer, Isobar, and Sapient — thanks for pushing me to be a better programmer, manager, and colleague. From Sapient, I need to specifically thank Jarlath Forde, Joe Morgan, and Alvin Crespo for direct support on the book.
