Programming WPF, 2nd Edition

Ian's Acknowledgments

Writing this book wouldn't have been possible without the support and feedback generously provided by a great many people. I would like to thank the following:

The readers, without whom this book would have a rather sad, lonely, and pointless existence.

My coauthor, Chris Sells, both for getting me involved in writing about WPF in the first place, and for his superb feedback and assistance.

Shawn Wildermuth, for contributing the Silverlight appendix, and enduring Chris's and my uncompromising approach to technical review.

Tim Sneath, both for his feedback and for providing me with the opportunity to meet and work with many members of the WPF team.

Microsoft employees and contractors, for producing a technology I like so much that I just had to write a book about it. And in particular, thank you to those people at Microsoft who gave their time to answer my questions or review draft chapters, including Chris Anderson, Marjan Badiei, Jeff Bogdan, Mark Boulter, Ben Carter, Dennis Cheng, Karen Corby, Vivek Dalvi, Nathan Dunlap, Ifeanyi Echeruo, Pablo Fernicola, Filipe Fortes, Kevin Gjerstad, Aaron Goldfeder, John Gossman, Mark Grinols, Namita Gupta, Henry Hahn, Robert Ingebretson, Kurt Jacob, David Jenni, Michael Kallay, Amir Khella, Adam Kinney, Nick Kramer, Lauren Lavoie, Daniel Lehenbauer, Kevin Moore, Elizabeth Nelson, Seema Ramchandani, Rob Relyea, Chris Sano, Greg Schechter, Eli Schleifer, Ashish Shetty, Adam Smith, Michael Stokes, Zhanbo Sun, David Teitlebaum, ...
