Huge thanks to Sam Lau and Luciano Ramalho for their technical reviews. Both made many helpful corrections and suggestions that improved the book.

And if you would like a copy of the book as soon as possible, you can read the Early Release version and order from O\u2019Reilly here<\/a> or pre-order the third edition from Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
