Acknowledgments
First and foremost, big thanks and gratitude to my second-time reviewers who helped me with JavaScript Patterns before, the Three Musketeers and d’Artagnan: the ever-so-amazing Andrea Giammarchi, Asen Bozhilov, Dmitry Soshnikov, and Juriy “kangax” Zaytsev. As with the previous book, they helped me tremendously with their deep knowledge and experience with JavaScript, their attention to detail, and their determination to have technical accuracy above all. They would often comment on some of my bold general statements with: “Hmm, this is not entirely correct and not always true, because….” I am forever in debt to these four ridiculously talented developers who also happen to be great and friendly people.
Many thanks to Chris Shiflett and Sean Coates. They made sure the PHP side of things made sense, but what’s more, this whole book started as a post on their PHPAdvent (now WebAdvent.org) blog, followed by a talk at the ConFoo conference, which Sean helps organize.
Next, thanks to the Facebook engineers who hang out in the JavaScript group. I posted an early draft there asking for comments. Three people even went through the whole thing and gave me invaluable feedback and further nitpicking, which is the best quality in a technical reviewer. Thanks to Alok Menghrajani, James Ide, and Alex Himel.
Finally, thanks to Randy Owens who read the “early release” of the book and meticulously filed tens of errata reports.
