Acknowledgments

I’d like to thank my wife, Hajra, for giving me the support and inspiration and the keen editorial eye necessary for a book like this.

I’d also like to thank Manning Publications for the chance to write this book. The exercise of writing a book like this serves as a finishing school for learning about a library, and as a result of writing D3.js in Action, I feel more confident with D3 than I would have had I simply created applications. I’d like to especially thank my editor, Susanna Kline, for her patience and hard work at turning my prose into something worth buying. Also, thanks to the production team and everyone else at Manning who worked on the book behind the scenes.

The following reviewers provided feedback on the manuscript at various stages of its development, and I thank them for their time and effort: Prashanth Babu V V, Dwight Barry, Margriet Bruggeman, Nikander Bruggeman, Matthew Faulkner, Jim Frohnhofer, Ntino Krampis, Andrea Mostosi, Arun Noronha, Alvin Raj, Adam Tolley, and Stephen Wakely. Thanks also to technical editor Valentin Crettaz and technical proofreader Jon Borgman for lending their expertise and making this a much better book.

Finally, I’d like to thank Stanford University Library and all the people there, but especially the head of that library, Mike Keller, for giving me the opportunity to use D3 to create amazing new research and applications in a number of exciting projects.
