Adam Horton

Adam Horton is an avid retro gamer as well as a creator, destroyer, and rebuilder of all things web, computing, and gaming. He started his career as a firmware developer for the high-end Superdome server division at Hewlett Packard. There, the JavaScript and C he wrought directed the power, cooling, health, and configuration of those behemoth devices. Since, he has been a web developer for PayPal, utilizing cross-domain JavaScript techniques with an emphasis on user identity. Lately, at ESO Solutions, he’s a lead JavaScript developer for next-generation pre-hospital electronic health record (EHR) field collection applications.
Adam believes in an inclusive, ubiquitous, and open web. He values pragmatism and practice over dogma in the design and implementation of computing applications and education.
I’d like to thank my wife for her enduring patience and support. She is the wind at my back that presses forward all of my endeavors, including this book. I’d also like to thank my parents for constantly fueling a stray rocket of a child while he tuned his guidance system.
