Acknowledgments Reflecting on the last few months I can't believe how fortunate I was to work on this book with so many great people. This text wouldn't have been possible without all the help and hard work of you all. Thank you. Firstly I would like to say a "Thank you" to all the members of the AngularJS team at Google. You are the dream team working on an amazing framework. Keep up the great work! My special thanks go to Brad Green, Miško Hevery, Igor Minar, and Vojta Jína. Brad, thank you for putting Peter and me in contact with the publisher and encouraging us to write this book. Miško, thank you for reviewing our book and bearing with us when we had naive questions about AngularJS. Igor, for your constant support and an endless stream of good hints, which made this book much better. It was a lot of fun to work with all of you guys. I would like to extend my gratitude to the entire AngularJS community, especially to people with whom I've interacted on the mailing list and other forums. I can't name you all, but your insightful questions were great inspiration for this book. A vibrant, supportive community behind AngularJS is one more reason why this framework is so great. Thanks are due to all the people at Packt Publishing: Rukhsana Khambatta, Dayan Hyames, and Arshad Sopariwala. You've made the entire writing and publishing process very smooth and straightforward. Thank you. I would like to thank my co-workers at Amadeus, where I've learned what it takes to be a client-side programmer. Firstly, my managers Bertrand Laporte and Bruno Chabrier. Bertrand, thank you for introducing me to the world of client-side development and encouraging me to write this book. Bruno, thank you for letting me work part time and focus on this project. Thank you both for your generosity. Thanks to Julian Descottes and Corinne Krych, who reviewed an earlier draft of the book and provided valuable feedback. Very, very special thanks to Peter who agreed to co-author this book with me. Peter, I've throughly enjoyed every minute of working with you on this project. I could hardly dream of a better co-author. Lastly, but most importantly, I would like to thank my wonderful soon-to-be wife Ania. Without your unconditional support and patience I wouldn't have even thought of starting work on this book. About the Authors Peter Bacon Darwin has been programming for over two decades. He worked with .NET from before it was released; he contributed to the development of IronRuby and was an IT consultant for Avanade and IMGROUP before quitting to share his time between freelance development and looking after his kids. Peter is a notable figure in the AngularJS community. He has recently joined the AngularJS team at Google as an external contractor and is a founder member of the AngularUI project. He has spoken about AngularJS at Devoxx UK and numerous London meetups. He also runs training courses in AngularJS. His consultancy practice is now primarily focused on helping businesses make best use of AngularJS. I would like to thank the team at Google for giving us AngularJS, in particular the ones who got it all going: Miško Hevery, Igor Minar, Brad Green, and Vojta Jína. They are a constant inspiration. My co- author, Pawel, is the driving force behind this book. He conceived the structure, wrote most of the content, and is a great guy to work with. We have all benefited from the awesome active community that has built up around AngularJS in such a short time, especially the folks in the AngularUI project. Finally, I couldn't have completed the book without the love and support of my wife, Kelyn, and kids, Lily and Zachary.
