Tom, I read the QnA page you have set up for v2 of your book that you linked to earlier. I just wanted to say that v2 looks really good. I power read v1 and enjoyed it much, but was wanting more "meat". My next read (arrives tomorrow) is Richter's .NET Programming book, I think your's will complement it well. -John
By the way, just wanted to add that you'll really enjoy Jeffrey's book. As you might imagine, it's excellent. I'd also highly recommend Serge Lidin's MSIL book. Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# Best mini-putt score = 22

I'm buying the Richter book, no question. The man is a god. How does the Petzhold book fit into all this ? I bought it this morning, does it overlap everyone else ? What book has Jeff Prosise written, I didn't know he had a .NET book. I'll have to check out what the v2 differences are in your book, it might give me an excuse to buy it, although we have v1 here at work.

>>> How does the Petzhold book fit into all this ? I bought it this morning, does it overlap everyone else ? <<< No. His book is about GDI+, keyboard and mouse handling, etc. - very much like his original Windows and OS/2 PM books. >>> What book has Jeff Prosise written, I didn't know he had a .NET book. <<< Yep. He's writing a book that is much more centered around writing applications for .NET >>> I'll have to check out what the v2 differences are in your book, it might give me an excuse to buy it, although we have v1 here at work. ( Do you get the idea that I am a book junkie ) <<< Just a tich :) I think you'll see that there's a marked difference in the two editions. Not that the first was bad, but the book obviously had to grow with its audience - hence the addition of more advanced material and chapters.

Do you think thas this book by Serge is definitely a book to consider if for some reason some guy want to write a little .net language ? :rolleyes: In another words, the book is a <> in your opinion, that makes the their weaks points :confused: simply disappear ?

In my opinion, John's book is better if you're looking to write your own compiler as it covers a number of internal runtime architectural issues not specific to the CIL spec. Serge's book, on the other hand, is more of a reference to the MSIL. You could use Serge's book to write a compiler, but John's is better suited for that. My use of Serge's book was for a better MSIL reference than the one in the framework docs. Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# Best mini-putt score = 22

Thank you for your answer Tom, it appears that I have one more book to add to my .NET list. I'm already have 4 books on .NET and it appears that the number will double(at the minimum)...damn money, it flies away too quickly :(( Joao Vaz
Tell me about it. By the way, don't forget the second edition of my book on that last :) By the way, if you're looking to write code in MSIL, the I would definitely recommend Serge's book. If you're looking to simply understand the various MSIL instructions as you debug C# code, then my book explains each of these instructions as they're presented.

When you said "point reinforced" I thought you were teasing me about having already said that once. I'm definitely familiar with TCL and do not envy you. Hopefully, you'll be finished with that and be able to move onto some other more fun stuff very soon. Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# Best mini-putt score = 22
