acknowledgments

I’d like to thank first and foremost my wife, Linda, for her patience and understanding as I wrote this book, largely during the evening and weekend hours. I appreciate your support, and I pledge to make up some of the lost time.

Manning provided a team of professionals dedicated to making this book happen. Dozens of individuals were involved, including my developmental editors Helen Stergius and Cynthia Kane, technical developmental editor Alain Couniot, technical proofreader Tanya Wilke, and review editor Ivan Martinovic´. Several external reviewers also provided helpful feedback on different stages of the manuscript: Harsh Raval, Kumar Unnikrishnan, Michael A. Angelo, Phily Austria, Radoslaw Pilski, and Tony Brown.

Along with that team were others at Manning who helped manage the cycle of early releases and the final production release, including project editor Kevin Sullivan, copyeditor Corbin Collins, and proofreader Alyson Brener.

A big thank you goes to the Angular team for creating Angular and also for the opportunities they’ve given me to talk with team members individually. Google also sponsors the Google Developer Experts program, which has a great list of Angular experts who have been helpful and which I’m proud to belong to.

I also want to thank Jason and David Aden for their early contributions and time working on the manuscript with me.
