To Mom, who taught me the importance of books, and to Dad, for bringing that Hyperion at home so many years ago.

Joel Lord (joel__lord on Twitter) is passionate about the web and technology in general. He likes to learn new things, but most of all, he wants to share his discoveries. He does so by traveling to various conferences all across the globe.

He graduated from college with a degree in computer programming in the last millennium. Apart from a little break to get his BSc in computational astrophysics, he has always worked in the industry.

In his daily job, Joel is a developer advocate with MongoDB, where he connects with software engineers to help them make the web better by using best practices around JavaScript.

In his free time, he can be found stargazing on a campground somewhere or brewing a fresh batch of beer in his garage.

Before I started writing this book, I never realized how many people were involved in the process. So many people participated, making the end result what it is today. Big thanks to the team of illustrators, content editors, and technical reviewers. Special kudos to Romy Dias, who was a great help during the whole process. Most importantly, many thanks to my wonderful spouse, Natacha, for giving me the support I've needed to write this book.
