Acknowledgments

Like most books, this wasn’t a solo effort. I would like to send my heartfelt gratitude to the people who made this book possible.

Thanks to Rodrigo B. de Oliveira, for creating the Boo language in the first place, and Cedric Vivier, Daniel Grunwald, Dmitry Malyshev, Greg Nagel, Joao Braganca, Martinho Fernandes, Paul Lang, and Avishay Lavie for helping to create such a wonderful language.

To the people who worked on and extended the Rhino DSL project, Simone Busoli, Nathan Stott, Jason Meckley, Craig Neuwirt, Tobias Hertkorn, Markus Zywitza, Adam Tybor, Paul Barriere, and Leonard Smith, thanks for making my job so much easier.

To everyone at Manning, especially publisher Marjan Bace and associate publisher Mike Stephens, thanks for your guidance, support, and patience. To development editor Tom Cirtin, copyeditor Andy Carroll, and proofreader Katie Tennant, thanks for being so patient with me, even when I took too long to get things done. Special thanks to technical proofreader Justin Chase for carefully reading the final manuscript once it was in production and for checking the code.

To the reviewers who read the manuscript numerous times during development, thanks for your comments and valuable feedback: Andrew Glover, Jon Skeet, Derik Whittaker, Freedom Dumlao, Justin Lee, Paul King, Matthew Pope, Craig Neuwirt, Mark Seemann, Steven Kelly, Robert Wenner, Garabed “Garo” Yeriazarian, and Avishay Lavie.
