Acknowledgments
We thank the team at Manning for their hard work through the process of writing the book. Michael Stephens first contacted us and helped us create the book proposal. Marjan Bace gave us the opportunity to write the book and provided us with valuable advice about its structure. Karen Tegtmeyer organized the reviews, which resulted in further improvements. Last, but not least, thanks to our development editor, Cynthia Kane, who helped us improve the book’s writing and structure.
Thanks to all the reviewers who took the time to read the book and make constructive remarks about its content. Their feedback was essential in keeping us on the right track: David Dossot, Gildas Cuisinier, Jawher Moussa, John Guthrie, Peter Pavlovich, Jos Dirksen, Denys Kurylenko, Dmitry Sklyut, Edmon Begoli, Marco Ughetti, Deepak Vohra, Rob Harrop, and Jeroen Benckhuijsen.
This book is about an open source project, so it would not exist were it not for the efforts of the people who spent their time creating and making Spring Dynamic Modules live. Thanks to all the Spring DM team: Adrian Colyer, Hal Hildebrand, and, of course, Costin Leau, the project’s lead. An open source project is also a community project, so thanks to everyone who contributed to the project by answering questions on the forum or by participating in the bug-tracking process. This also helped us to learn more about how people use Spring DM.
