Acknowledgements

I was inspired to write this book in the way I have done by a couple of great online books.

• Resilient Web Design by Jeremy Keith, which I love as an ageing techie, but also for its explemary and thoughtful presentation.
• Meaningness by David Chapman, from which I've taken much inspration not just in terms of its ideas, but also its incredibly clever design - little touches like the implementation of comments and highlighting of unfinished content.
