Acknowledgments

Writing a book is no simple task. It isn’t a straightforward data dump of knowledge onto paper (or e-ink). Building a book that’s accurate, well paced, and sufficiently difficult yet not overly abstract takes many people working through the countless revisions to bring you a book like the one you’re reading now.

The staff at Manning were instrumental in getting this book from a loosely related set of lessons into a quality resource of learning material. Special thanks to Mike Stephens and Erin Twohey for originally approaching me about writing a book about RxJS; to Frances Lefkowitz for being the best editor out there and herding the cats otherwise known as us authors through to the finish line; to Bert Bates for never settling for less, passing on his wisdom on teaching technical topics, and always trying to help elevate us as writers; and to everyone on the editorial and production teams, including Kevin Sullivan, Linda Recktenwald, Dottie Marsico, Katie Tennant, and all the other people who worked behind the scenes.

We owe a huge thanks to Aleksandar Dragosavljevic and his amazing team of technical peer reviewers—Álvaro Falquina, Bachir Chihani, Carlos Curotto, Clinton Campbell, Corinna Cohn, Damian Esteban, James Anaipakos, Kamal Raj, Matteo Gildone, Osama Khan, Rod Monk, Sai Ram Kota, Thomas Peklak, Tim Thornton, and Zachary Lysobey—and, of course, all the wonderful insights and suggestions from the forum contributors.
