the review team
Tech Reviewers
I’m so phenomenally lucky to have a
killer team of reviewers.
Johannes de
Jong probably thinks that he didn’t do
much, and of course he’d be very, very
wrong. Johannes started the review, kept it
running, and made jokes about whiskey at
all the right times. Pauline McNamara
manages to be in every Head First (and now
Head Rush) book, probably because she’s
such an uber-reviewer. She co-managed the
review, and was always technically correct
and yet still “cool.” Go gure! Valentin Crettaz
found every grammatical mistake I’ve ever made, and
even kept my diagrams technically accurate. What a
combination. Kristin Stromberg came to the fray
late, and just devoured the chapters. Her feedback was
right on point, and really helped make the book more
fun, engaging, and enjoyable. You should thank her...
seriously! Andrew Monkouse made some great Ajax-
specic comments that really kept me on my Ajax toes.
Nice work, Andrew! And a special thanks, and shout out,
to Bear Bibeault. Bear, I know life got in the way, but I
appreciate your involvement all the same, man!
I hope you like this book, guys—this book is yours as much as it is mine.

It seems like these books end up
being as much about friendships
as about writing and teaching. If
it weren’t for Beth Freeman and
