Beginning ASP.NET MVC 1.0

Acknowledgments

We have to start by thanking God for being such a great support in all steps in our life, including this book. Doubtlessly, we would have been unable to make it without the power that He granted to us.

We also should thank our family members and friends for their continued help and for believing in us. We both owe them for our achievements.

Besides that, we should thank the editorial group for the book. Katie Mohr (Acquisitions Editor) helped us to get started and address all the problems that rose during the long process of writing. Kelly Talbot and Sydney Jones (Development Editors) did a great job copyediting our material and improving the language while they took care of schedules and communications between authors and other editors. Eilon Lipton and Ivan Porto Carrero (Technical Editors) helped us catch our technical flaws and add helpful content to our chapters, so they have had an important influence on the quality of the book.

We should thank all these editors for their hard work and close collaboration on this book. Most of the content was being written for early builds of ASP.NET MVC, and we had to apply major changes as we moved on in several stages. It took a lot of time and effort from both us and these editors to keep up with the latest changes given our tight schedule, and our busy personal and career lives.

We also give credit to Jim Minatel (Associate Publisher) for his early help and for putting us in touch with Katie Mohr.
