Building Responsive Data Visualization for the Web

Acknowledgments

I want to thank Carol Long from John Wiley & Sons. After opening for the morning coffee break at the Data Visualization Summit in Boston, you walked up to me with a coffee in one hand and a business card in the other, and asked if I would like to write a book. Without your willingness to approach some ridiculous 24-year-old kid, this whole thing never would have happened.

I also have to give my most heartfelt appreciation to my project editor, Adaobi Obi Tulton. You were equal parts patient and stern regarding deadlines and deliverables, in a way that made this long book-making process enjoyable.

I also owe a massive thanks to Randy Krum for not only acting as technical editor on the book, but also giving me advice—as someone who has done this same thing before—on pitfalls to avoid, and paths to take.

Finally, I want to offer apologies to any family members, friends, coworkers, and strangers I was rude to, short with, or otherwise unpleasant to be around during deadline weeks. I promise it wasn’t you.
