Acknowledgments

We’d like to thank Manning for taking a chance on us and letting us create a book that didn’t follow the typical .NET technical paths. Specifically, we thank Cynthia Kane, Michael Stephens, and Maureen Spencer for being patient with us during our long wanderings through the material. It took far longer for us to finish than we originally thought, and we appreciate them for sticking with us—thank you very much! We also thank our production team of Corbin Collins, Dennis Dalinnik, Elizabeth Martin, Mary Piergies, and Janet Vail.

Special thanks to the following reviewers who spent the time perusing the text and the code for mistakes, odd phrasings, and other quirks: Andrew Kirsch, Arun Noronha, Bill Wagner, Bryce Darling, Danish Gite, Eddy Vluggen, Harry Cummings, Jon Von Gillern, Matt Warren, Mick Wilson, Rama Krishna Vavilala, Rob Grainger, Rupert Wood, Sander Rossel, Scobie Smith, Timo Bredenoort, Timothy Cluff, and William Lee.

Finally, we’re grateful to Rockford Lhotka for contributing the foreword to our book and to Justin Chase for his careful tech proofread of the manuscript during production.
