As the books authors, were the lucky ones who get to have our names on the front cover. But without the extra effort and support of many other folks, this book would have been a fraction of what it currently is, if it existed at all.

Were deeply grateful to Bruce Tate for originally suggesting the idea to us, and for sharing the wisdom gathered from the many books hes written over the years. Our editor Jackie Carter did an extraordinary job guiding a pair of nervous first-time authors with insight, editorial acumen, and a seemingly endless supply of patience. Jos Valim made himself available at several points in the process to clarify behavior we werent sure of, and help us stay on top of features in upcoming releases.

Wed also like thank the reviewers who gave us much-needed feedback on the book as it was evolving: Olufemi Adeojo, Ulisses De Almeida, Mike Foster, Elias Karakoulakis, Justin Lane, Wojtek Mach, Ben Marx, Sean Miller, Matt Milton, Kim Shrier, and Stefan Turalski. And big thanks to the many beta readers who sent in errata to the Pragmatic Bookshelf websitethis book would have a lot more errors if not for the efforts of these folks.

Id like to send thanks and shout-outs to my teammates at Infinite Red, especially the leadership team (Jamon Holmgren, Ken Miller, and Todd Werth) for steering us toward Elixir in the first place. And extra gratitude is to due to my fellow Elixirists: Daniel Berkompas, Zach Berkompas, Ryan Linton, Yulian Glukhenko, Morgan Laco, and Silas Matson. Their pull requests and code reviews have taught me more about Elixir than theyll ever know.
