It's been a long journey, that started more than one year ago: today our Beginning ASP.NET MVC 1.0 book is available for purchase on Amazon US.

Probably some of you, the ones which pre-ordered the book, will be receiving it soon. And in a few days (probably next week), the book will be officially available also on Amazon UK (still in pre-sale now) and later this month also on physical bookstores.

If you want to have a look at what's inside the book, you can download the free chapters we made available last month, or you can just go on Amazon and click on the "Look Inside" link to read chapter 1 about the Model View Controller pattern, the detailed Table of Contents and the Index.

And now that the book is officially out, I want to thank all the people that helped and supported me during the book writing process: my wife Daniela, my friends, Keyvan for the invaluable suggestions and for sharing his experience, Kelly and Sydney - our development editors, Katie and Paul - the marketing guys, Ivan, Eilon and Phil for their suggestions and comments, and Jim for being a great manager and making all the issues easier than they were.

And obviously a big thanks goes also to my colleagues and managers in Avanade (both Italy and in the US), the development team of the clients I worked for during this last year and the guys in the community. Thank you all for the encouragement and the support.

Without any of you this book would have not seen the shelves.
