Acknowledgments

I was told that writing a book took work and time, but I wasn’t expecting it to take as much work as it did! With help from my editors and reviewers, and feedback from those who purchased an early copy, I believe this has turned out to be a great book that will help you get started with WebAssembly.

I need to thank a lot of people who made this book possible. First and foremost, I need to thank my family for their patience with me as I worked long into the evenings and on weekends and holidays, and even used up some vacation time to meet deadlines. My wife Selena and my girls Donna and Audrey—I love you all very much!

Next, thank you to my first editor at Manning, Kevin Harreld, who helped me get up and running with writing this book. Kevin later accepted a job at another company, giving me the opportunity and pleasure to work with Toni Arritola for the remainder of the book. Toni, thank you for your patience while working with me, your professionalism, your honesty where you didn’t beat around the bush and told it like it was, and your desire for quality.

Thank you to everyone at Manning who has played a role in this book, from marketing to production. Your tireless work is appreciated.
