Firstly, I would like to thank my parents, Marina and Valera, for their patience and constant encouragement during the authoring period, which was stressful yet fulfilling.

A humongus thanks goes to the Packt editorial team, especially to Amey Varangaonkar, for the assistance provided at any time and the highly professional managing and approach to the entire authoring process and Reshma Raman, for simply considering me to be an author one fine day and successfully getting the book off the ground.

The guys from JetBrains, the father of WebStorm and other IDEs, deserve special thanks for their powerful masterpieces that are too great for words.

Last but not least, I would like to thank my workfellows, Dima Streltsov and Artem Petrov, for their friendship and for facilitating the completion of my high workload.
