Acknowledgments
In this book, I share many things I’ve learned over the years, and for that, I am in turn deeply indebted to those who’ve shared their guidance, experience, and knowledge with me, including those involved with producing the extremely helpful online resources out there—sites, blogs, and podcasts such as Ray Wenderlich, NSHipster, Use Your Loaf, AppCoda, Natasha The Robot, iOhYes, and More Than Just Code. I also thank fellow mentors at Thinkful for their inspiration, and those who are kind enough to share their knowledge on Stack Overflow.
A big thanks goes to Manning and the wonderful staff who have helped make this book as good as it could be. Thank you Helen Stergius for your tireless efforts, support, and energy—this book is a million times better for your advice. Thanks go to Doug Sparling and Doug Warren for their meticulous work in editing from a technical perspective. Thanks also go to the many others at Manning for their assistance and support in marketing and production: Candace Gillhoolley, Christopher Kaufmann, Aleksandar Dragosavljević,Ana Romac, Katie Petito, Katie Tennant, Kevin Sullivan, and Marija Tudor.
I thank the reviewers who offered their time to read my manuscript at various stages and whose feedback was invaluable: Amit Lamba, Andrea Prearo, Becky Huett, Doniyor Ulmasov, Ghita Kouadri, Karolina Kafel, Laurence Giglio, Luis Moux--Dominguez, Maksym Shcheglov, Stephan Heffner, and Žarko Jovičić.
