Kyle Simpson [Kyle Simpson] - You Don’t Know JS: Up & Going

I have many people to thank for making this book title and the overallseries happen.

First, I must thank my wife Christen Simpson, and my two kids Ethan andEmily, for putting up with Dad always pecking away at the computer. Evenwhen not writing books, my obsession with JavaScript glues my eyes tothe screen far more than it should. That time I borrow from my family isthe reason these books can so deeply and completely explain JavaScriptto you, the reader. I owe my family everything.

Id like to thank my editors at OReilly, namely Simon St.Laurent andBrian MacDonald, as well as the rest of the editorial and marketingstaff. They are fantastic to work with, and have been especiallyaccommodating during this experiment into open source book writing,editing, and production.

Thank you to the many folks who have participated in making thisseries better by providing editorial suggestions and corrections,including Shelley Powers, Tim Ferro, Evan Borden, Forrest L. Norvell,Jennifer Davis, Jesse Harlin, Kris Kowal, Rick Waldron, Jordan Harband,Benjamin Gruenbaum, Vyacheslav Egorov, David Nolen, and many others. Abig thank you to Jenn Lukas for writing the foreword for this title.

Thank you to the countless folks in the community, including members ofthe TC39 committee, who have shared so much knowledge with the rest ofus, and especially tolerated my incessant questions and explorationswith patience and detail. John-David Dalton, Juriy kangax Zaytsev,Mathias Bynens, Axel Rauschmayer, Nicholas Zakas, Angus Croll, ReginaldBraithwaite, Dave Herman, Brendan Eich, Allen Wirfs-Brock, Bradley Meck,Domenic Denicola, David Walsh, Tim Disney, Peter van der Zee, AndreaGiammarchi, Kit Cambridge, Eric Elliott, and so many others, I canteven scratch the surface.

Since the You Dont Know JS series was born on Kickstarter, Ialso wish to thank all my (nearly) 500 generous backers, without whomthis series could not have happened:
