Acknowledgments

Sharp Architecture attempts to represent the combined wisdom of many software development giants. Included patterns and algorithms reflect best practices described by the GoF, Martin Fowler, Uncle Bob Martin, Steve McConnell, many gurus in the blogosphere and other industry leaders. Many have been personally involved with helping to shape S#arp Architecture’s current form including and in no paticular order: Alec Whittington, Chris Richards, Seif Attar, Jon George, Howard van Rooijen, Billy McCafferty, Frank Laub, Kyle “the coding hillbilly” Baley, Simone Busoli, Jay Oliver, Lee Carter, Luis Abreu, James Gregory, Vitaliy Kryvosheiev and Martin Hornagold … along with many others who have asked WTF at all the right times. A special thanks to Roy Bradley who was brave crazy enough to commission Billy to develop the first version 0.1. Finally, none of this would have been possible and/or applicable without the tireless, unpaid efforts of the teams behind projects such as NHibernate, Fluent NHibernate, NHibernate Validator, MvcContrib, and Castle.
