I??™ve been very fortunate over the years to make acquaintances (both online and in
person) with many people who are far smarter than I am, and I consulted some of
them for pieces of information in this book. For keeping my facts straight, I??™d like to
thank Jon Jagger, Nigel Perry, Prashant Sridharan, Dan Fernandez, Tony Goodhew,
Simon Tatham, Ben Voigt, and George Chrysanthakopoulos.
Finally, I need to thank the C# team. As well as creating such a fantastic language
to write about, they were incredibly responsive to my questions. I don??™t know what??™s
coming in C#4 (beyond the hints on blogs about possible features) or even a very
rough timescale for it, but I wish the team the very best of luck.
I??™d like to pay special tribute to Eric Lippert, first for being willing to enter into
detailed conversations about all kinds of topics while I was writing the initial manuscript,
and then for acting as the technical reviewer for the book, and finally for agreeing
to write the foreword. I couldn??™t have asked for a more knowledgable and
thorough reviewer??”Eric is about as close to being the C# specification in human
form as you can get! He??™s also a great source of trivia and recommendations on coding
style.
