I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my mom and dad. They are the biggest inspiration of my life.

James Morgan has been working with Angular since early 2011 and immediately fell in love with the programming model drastically different than the traditional request-response model he was used to, and he still continues to promote the use of AngularJS which is necessary for his clients.

AngularJS revolutionized his thinking and approach to the enterprise application stack, and he believes that its widely growing popularity has changed the face of client-side development within the enterprise space forever. A Java and Spring programmer originally, he now spends most of the day working with AngularJS, Node, and Scala. He believes that the up and coming ES6 changes as well as the functional movement within the industry will all compliment AngularJS, and it will continue as a strong first choice for many enterprise applications.

He started his journey with AngularJS inside a small but rapidly growing financial services company based in Manchester, UK, where AngularJS proved its worth as a platform that can live alongside a rapidly changing business and yet comes with the required enterprise features such as dependency injection and testability.

Some of his recent work has been in partnership with Cake Solutions Ltd., a Manchester-based functional software house. He has been an integral member of the team delivering solutions for one of UK's largest price comparison sites as well as for a London-based TV broadcasting company on several internal and client-facing applications. He continues to mentor newcomers to AngularJS and also continues his own professional development and keeps track of the latest changes in Angular and the functional programming world.

I would like to thank my partner for her support over the last few years of late night programming and reading sessions, which may have occasionally hampered her plans.
