Beginning Windows® Phone 7 Application Development: Building Windows® Phone Applications Using Silverlight® and XNA®

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE at Wrox who had a part in helping to get this book to print. First, I would like to thank my family for supporting me on another book writing endeavor. I would also like to take the time to thank Paul Reese for giving me the opportunity to work on another book project and Ginny Munroe, our primary editor, who fought to keep us all on track and on time, which was no easy task. I would also like to thank Jonathan Marbutt, our technical editor, for checking all of our code and offering valuable input during the writing process. Finally, I would also like to thank my co-authors, Karli and Robert, for their great work on this project and ensuring that all of the material will help our readers realize the goal of developing mobile applications on the new Windows Phone 7 platform.
