SAMS Windows Phone Dev in 24 Hours - Thanks ya'll

  • 项目

The Windows Phone programming book a bunch of us Florida folks started on a while ago finally released. Sams Teach Yourself Windows Phone 7 Application Development in 24 Hours shipped this month. Its nice to have my name on a book cover, you know? Also made mom and dad happy. But they still don't understand programming. In addition to thanking my fellow authors ( Dorman, Wolf, Polyakov ) and our editors (Neil/Betsy), I had a few other folks that really helped me out.  Not just on the book but over my life. I tried to let the dedication speak for itself.

dedication

Ryan and Morgan - fishing isn't really my life, these two are
coding moods - heads down, leave me alone, grrrr
][e - yep, my first 'puter was from fruitco. they were so much fun then
AT-Clone - egghead mailorder. I was supposed to pay my folks back circa 1986 or so. woops. hope they never run the accrued interesting. also hope my brother doesn't read this re inheritance.
Microsoft Management - dpe field. awesome. that's all i can say. many great managers over my 11 years. cutter - LJ - college roommate ala 'cutter'. taught me how naughty computers can be without imagery
scumpy - Ken - roommate in college during the 'ibm quarters' - always had something new and cool to play with - he'll be back one day!
foghat - Chuck - highschool programming king who took the time to teach the captain of the football team about peek, poke, and byte
fla-wimo-dev - Florida-only, Windows Phone developer mailing list. I'm surrounded by some of the coolest, brightest, most giving folks in the world. Ya'll rock. Thanks...
