Beginning JavaScript, 5th Edition

Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I want to thank God for the blessings he has bestowed upon me, and thank you, dear reader, for without you this book would not be possible. Also, a huge thank you goes to my wife and family for putting up with me as I spent my available weekend free-time updating this book.

Writing and producing a book requires a lot of people, and I know I cannot name everyone who has had a hand in this project. But a very big thank you goes to Jim Minatel and Robert Elliott for green-lighting this project. Thank you Kelly Talbot for keeping me on track and putting up with me. To the editing team, thank you for making my text look good. And to Russ Mullen, thanks for keeping me honest.

First, a big thank you to my partner Beci, who, now that the book's finished, will get to see me for more than 10 minutes a week.

I'd also like to say a very big thank you to the editors, who worked very efficiently on getting this book into print.

Thanks also to Jim Minatel for making this book happen.

Many thanks to everyone who's supported and encouraged me over my many years of writing books. Your help will always be remembered.

Finally, pats and treats to my German Shepherd Dog, Katie, who does an excellent job of warding off disturbances from door-to-door salespeople.
