Acknowledgments

We’d like to thank our development editors at Manning, Jeff Bleiel and Nermina Miller, who have patiently supported us during the whole process. We also want to thank Katie Tennant, our awesome proofreader at Manning.

We want to extend further thanks to our reviewers, whose insights helped us build a better book: Amjad Mogal, Andrew Johnson, Brad Johnson, Chris Mathews, Dan Barber, Davide Piazza, Frank Crow, Jesus de Oliveira, Joan Picanyol i Puig, Keith McAlister, Lee Dyson, Magnus Larsson, Nicolas Mondada, Ramiro Rinaudo, and Wayne Ellis.

Special thanks to Ross Mason for writing the foreword to our book, and to our technical proofreaders, Alberto Aresca, Felix Manuel Jerez, German Solis, Juan Alberto Lopez Cavallotti, and Sebastian Beltramini, from MuleSoft. We’re also very grateful to Daniel Feist and the MuleSoft Engineering Team for their deep and extended feedback on the manuscript.

David

I would like to thank my family for their support during this book update, which evolved into something more like a rewrite! I’m also grateful to our readers for their continuous feedback and sustained interest in this book.

John

I would like to thank my wife, Catherine, and my son, Johnny, for putting up with me for two years while we “updated” this book for Mule 3.x. I also want to thank everyone at MuleSoft for their guidance and support throughout the entire process.

Victor

I would like to thank my mom for instilling a love of knowledge in me, my grandmother for teaching me the value of hard work, and the rest of my family for being such an inspiration. I would also like thank my friends and colleagues for their unconditional support during the creation of this book.
