Acknowledgments

There may be only one name listed on the cover, but this book is truly the product of the hard work of many people. First, I would like to thank O’Reilly for giving me the opportunity to write this book and for being great to work with. Specifically, I’d like to thank my editor, Rachel Roumeliotis, for making this book happen and providing plenty of help and feedback throughout the entire process.

I also had some top-notch technical reviewers to help me out: Miguel de Icaza and Jeff Blankenburg. Miguel de Icaza is a well-known figure in the software world, having started projects like GNOME and Mono, and is also the founder of Xamarin. I am extremely honored to have had him involved in writing this book. Without Miguel and his amazing team over at Xamarin, the Mono project, MonoTouch, and Mono for Android would never have happened. Jeff is a Developer Evangelist for Microsoft, and is an established authority and author in the realm of Windows Phone. Both Miguel and Jeff are experts in the field and provided invaluable feedback and suggestions that really helped shape the book you’re reading right now.

Last but certainly not least, I want to thank my family and friends for their constant support. In particular, I’d like to thank Angie and Roger for putting up with me while I spent most of my time working, and for helping keep me sane along the way.
