Acknowledgments

I never thought that I would be writing one of these ... I feel like I’m at the Oscars or something. Although I hate to list specific names, as it will force me to exclude people I should thank and it’ll be totally awkward the next time I see them, I’ll do it anyway ... otherwise this section would be kind of boring.

I’ll start with Scott González, who brought me into the jQuery project, walked me through countless jQuery concepts, and has always been around to help with any problem I run into. In addition to helping me with all things jQuery UI over the last few years, Scott also contributed the foreword to this book.

Next I’ll thank Jörn Zaefferer, whose expertise has made me a better developer during my time with jQuery UI. I asked Jörn to perform the technical review of this book because I felt he was the most qualified person for the job (he is the original author of a good chunk of the jQuery UI source), and I wasn’t disappointed. The book is unquestionably better because of Jörn.

The entire jQuery UI team has either directly or indirectly helped make this book a reality, so I’d also like to thank Kris Borchers, Felix Nagel, Corey Frang, Mike Sherov, Rafael Xavier, and Alexander Schmitz.
