Acknowledgments

This book wouldn’t have been possible without the input and support from the amazing AngularJS community. I want to thank Brad Green, Igor Minar, Miško Hevery, Brian Ford, and Matias Niemela for their friendship and for setting such a great example of what it looks like to build awesome things. I would also like to thank Jeff Whelpley, Brandon Tilley, Omar Gonzalez, Martin Gontovnikas, Joe Eames, and about a hundred other people for their feedback. They helped me craft Angello and the book that’s built around it. I would also like to thank Geoff Goodman for his contributions on the awesome drag-and-drop example. And I owe Jonathan Garvey a huge debt of gratitude for helping me get this book over the finish line. You are holding this book right now because of his help and tough love. Special thanks to Martin for penning the foreword to the book, and to Brian for his contributions at the beginning of the project.

I especially want to thank my saint of an editor, Cynthia Kane, for her infinite patience, for helping me to become a better writer, and for sometimes nudging me to do things I didn’t want to do—like write! Thanks also to everyone else on the Manning team who worked with me during the development and production of the book.
