Minko Gechev is a software engineer who strongly believes in open source software. He has developed numerous such projects including codelyzer, the AngularJS style guide, aspect.js and many others. Together with Igor Minar, John Papa and Ward Bell, Minko is one of the coauthors of the official Angular style guide.
Minko loves to experiment with theoretical concepts from computer science and apply them in practice. He has spoken about Angular and software development at worldwide conferences and meetups, including ng-conf, ng-vegas, AngularConnect, FDConf, Angular-SF, and Connect.Tech.
I want to thank Miško Hevery for his great contributions to software engineering and the technical review of this book. He helped me provide as precise content as possible. To make the code samples for this book easy to run, I used angular-seed. One of the core contributors of the project is Ludovic Hénin, who helped make it much more than an Angular starter. I also want to thank Daniel Lamb, Radoslav Kirov, and Tero Parviainen who gave me extremely valuable feedback.
I couldn't have completed this book without the dedicated work of the Packt Publishing team. Finally, I want to thank the team at Google for giving us Angular. They are a constant inspiration.
