Professional Node.js: Building Javascript Based Scalable Software

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

FIRST, I WANT TO THANK my wife, Susana, and my kids, Henrique and Beatriz. You have given me courage and persistence by reminding me what is really important in life.

I’d also like to thank my Acquisitions Editor at Wiley, Mary E. James, for having faith in me and signing me up to write this book.

I want to thank my good friend and former colleague, programmer and photographer Pedro Mendes, who persuaded me to start writing a book about Node.js over a few beers in Lisbon.

I also want to thank my good friend Nuno Job, who has been my companion in this open-source and Node.js crusade for these last few years.

A big word of appreciation also goes out to the Node.js community in general. You are the best, most welcoming, appreciative, and fun programming community I have been a part of.

Lastly, I want to thank you, the reader, for buying this book. I hope it helps you in learning about the ins and outs of the wonderful world of programming in Node.js.
