I would like to thank Reshma for reaching out and ensuring that this book happened in the first place.
Also, thank you Nikhil for all your comments and words of support. A big thank you to Pablo for
ensuring this book lives up to the quality our readers deserve.
Sara my wife, my life partner, my team mate. Thank you for your ideas and, most of all, your
encouragement and patience, and for pushing me towards my true potential.
I would also like to direct a big thank you to my brother, Magnus, for your support and showing me that
hard work pays off. To my nephew, Vilgot, thank you for the light, love, and joy you have brought and
are bringing to our family, and for reminding me what is important in life.
Lastly, a big big thank you to my parents Berith and Oystein for your love and support and turning me
into the person I am.
Pablo Deeleman is a former UI/UX designer who fell in love with JavaScript and CSS back in 1998,
during the good old days of Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3. The discovery of
Node.js back in 2011 became a turning point in his career, from where he decided to embrace full-
time JavaScript-driven development, carving out a career as a JavaScript full stack engineer with special
focus on single-page application development.
With sound expertise in libraries and frameworks, such as Backbone.js, Knockout.js, Polymer, React,
AngularJs, and Angular, Pablo Deeleman built his career in a wide range of companies encompassing
internationally acclaimed tube sites, fintech start-ups, and award-winning gaming and gambling sites.
He currently works as a senior frontend engineer and Angular specialist for Red Hat, the multinational
company providing open source software products to the enterprise community.
Pablo has also authored Learning Angular 2 (Packt, 2016) and currently lives in sunny and bustling
Barcelona, where he fulfills his other great passion: playing piano.
Producing a book is always a daunting task, and its success is not only due to the hard work achieved
by its authors but also due to the team that makes it possible behind the scenes. In that sense, Reshma
Raman, Nikhil Borkar, and the awesome people at Packt have all my respect and appreciation. Thank
you very much indeed to Christoffer Noring; you have turned this project into an unparalleled reference
guide in the Angular arena, which will help countless people to build big things and become great
developers in the years to come. Your contribution to the Angular community is priceless.
I'd also like to thank Gemma, my partner in crime and my accomplice for her patience and
understanding. Kudos to my team at Red Hat and to my very own personal frontend squad: Pere, David,
and Eric. I only have words of appreciation to my IT family in Barcelona who always support and
encourage me to keep challenging myself: Andreia, Marc, Gabriel, and Rafael. Also, a big thank you
goes to Gerard and Antonio Jesus, my favorite backend engineers ever.
Last but not least, thanks to my parents, Paul and Pepa, and my late brother, Raul, for allowing me to
sit at the computer for so many hours when I was a child. That sacrifice finally paid off.
