4`Nikhil Marathe <https://nikhilism.com>`_ started writing this book one
5afternoon (June 16, 2012) when he didn't feel like programming. He had recently
6been stung by the lack of good documentation on libuv while working on
7`node-taglib <https://github.com/nikhilm/node-taglib>`_. Although reference
8documentation was present, there were no comprehensive tutorials. This book is
9the output of that need and tries to be accurate. That said, the book may have
10mistakes. Pull requests are encouraged.

12Nikhil is indebted to Marc Lehmann's comprehensive `man page
13<http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod>`_ about libev which
14describes much of the semantics of the two libraries.

16This book was made using `Sphinx <https://www.sphinx-doc.org>`_ and `vim
17<https://www.vim.org>`_.

19.. note::
20    In 2017 the libuv project incorporated the Nikhil's work into the official
21    documentation and it's maintained there henceforth.
