Acknowledgments

This book would have never come together were it not for the generous support from many individuals. I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge them here.

Thank you to all the Googlers who helped guide my own understanding of CORS, including Eric Bidelman, Jad Boutros, Antonio Fuentes, Joe Gregorio, Jason Hall (whose prompting led me to investigate CORS in the first place), Yaniv Inbar, Sven Mawson, Eduardo Vela Nava, Jeffrey Posnick, Louis Ryan, Benjamin Carl Wiley Sittler, and Mark Stahl. And special thanks to Eric for contributing the foreword to the book.

Thank you to Anne van Kesteren for authoring the CORS spec that made this book possible, to Evan Hahn and Will Stranathan for their insights on particularly thorny areas of this book, and to Nicholas Zakas, whose blog post was my first introduction to CORS. Michael Hausenblas, thank you for starting enable-cors.org, and passing the torch to me.

Thank you to everyone at Manning for their support and guidance during the crafting of this book. To my editors Cynthia Kane and Monique Bos, thank you for the readings and rereadings that elevated the chapters to the next level. To Konstantin Yakushev, thank you for your in-depth technical review across multiple platforms. Thank you also to Michael Stephens, Kevin Sullivan, Jodie Allen, Deepak Vohra, Elizabeth Martin, and Chuck Larson.
