Acknowledgments
We want to acknowledge Tim O’Reilly for bringing the revolution of the new Internet into focus. We also want to thank our families for giving us the time to work on this project, and our employers—Adobe, RedMonk, and Hinchcliffe & Company—for allowing us to dedicate our minds and resources to the book. Thanks also to our friends and others who have helped us over the years, whether they know it or not. These include the bloggers who expressed their opinions, the entrepreneurs who took ideas further than anyone expected, the standards world that created rules for allowing us to interoperate, the visionaries who broke those rules into little pieces to make something new, and you for taking the time to read this book.
Without naming everyone, there are some individuals who have played an especially important part in allowing this work to happen—our gratitude goes out to all of you.
