I would like to thank my partner in life, Einat Shahak, for putting up with late night hacking sessions and a messy workroom. She has seen me go through every important turning point of my life with nothing but sheer encouragement and support. I would like to thank my parents for helping me become who I am, and my brothers for always reminding me who I want to be. I would also like to thank my dear friend and colleague Roie Schwaber-Cohen. Without his efforts and support, the development of MEAN as well as this book quite possibly would not have happened.

Lastly, I would like to thank the contributors and developers who make the open source community the powerful and creative force that it is. You taught me more than I could have ever imagined.
