Acknowledgments

A book like this is never written in a vacuum, and there are many people who played an important role in getting it done, and contributing to the overall quality. I want to thank some people in the development community for their overall contributions to JavaScript over the years, and helping to advance the understanding and skills of a large community of developers. This group certainly includes Douglas Crockford, John Resig, Dustin Diaz, Valerio Proietti, Alex Russel, Eric Lawrence (thank you for Fiddler), Joe Hewitt (of Firebug fame – and who should have schools named after him or something), and of course many more.

Thanks also go to Nitobi, Foresee Results, Adobe, the Mozilla Foundation, Opera Software, Microsoft, and Apple either for making my life a lot easier, or for their continuing contributions to the web development community (keep making great tools!)

On a personal note, I want to thank my fiancé Lara for never being anything but totally supportive whether I am working late, writing all weekend, or generally not doing any of my chores as a result. I also want to thank my parents for giving me everything I ever needed to succeed.

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
