Acknowledgments

This book is dedicated to my wife, Erika, and our two boys, Takeshi and Kenji. Because of you, I have the motivation to do what I do.

Erika, thank you for supporting me during the production of this book. Your dedication to taking care of our two very active boys and family matters allowed me to focus on this book. I am both grateful and lucky to have you in my life. I love you!

Takeshi and Kenji, thank you for always keeping me on my toes and for those five-minute slices of time. My hope is that this little accomplishment can serve as an inspiration to you someday to achieve what it is that you set your mind to.

Many thanks to Abe Elias, Aaron Conran, Tommy Maintz, and the rest of the Ext JS development team. Having the ability to interface directly with you and your team has allowed me to get the answers I needed to make some of this material possible.
