Acknowledgments

This book wouldn’t have been possible without all the amazing people who helped me along the way. I want to thank my friends in North Carolina and the awesome folks running and attending NCDevCon for listening to me yammer on about Web Components on a near-constant basis. More specifically, I’d like to thank Adrian Pomilio for blowing my mind in his 2011 talk showing Custom Elements before they were really a thing.

I’d also like to thank the GE Design System team for being my Web Component co-conspirators at a time when they were so new and we weren’t quite sure if everyone else thought we were insane. Specifically, I’d like to thank Martin Wragg, Jeff Reichenberg, and John Rogerson for nerding out with me about this new way to create for the web. I’d also like to thank the Google Polymer team for help and guidance during this time, as well as their technical lead/manager Gray Norton for writing the foreword for this book.

At Adobe, I’d like to thank the entire Adobe Design team (and beyond) for being so supportive and genuinely excited for me publishing my first book.

Of course, my wife Rebecca Gomez Farrell has not only supported me through this whole thing, but also happens to be an amazing writer and editor herself. In addition to getting me a stiff drink when I needed one, she helped a new writer be way better, with actual, professional advice.
