Hey Tom Archer!!!

I wondered when the new edition of your book was going to hit? I have been trying to learn .NET and I have some projects I want to do in ASP.NET that I thought I would do in C# just for the heck of it. I was thinking I would grab your book to help in the glorious struggle against emerging technologies, but I remembered you saying that you were working on a new edition so I didn't want to buy the old one if the new one is going to come along soon. Not that I am trying to hurry you or anything. (I figure your editor will do that for us.) :) Jason Jystad Cito Technologies www.citotech.net Sonork ID 100.9918 >-------------------------------------------------< Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one instruction -- from which, by induction, one can deduce that every program can be reduced to one instruction that doesn't work. >-------------------------------------------------<

Definitely makes sense as we've added tons of stuff to the edition. Jason Jystad wrote: Not that I am trying to hurry you or anything.

I'm already hard at work on the next book :) Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C#

Oops!! You're right. Must sleep :) I meant the 26th of next month. See how far ahead I have to think all the time! :laugh: >>> I bought the first edition and loved it, now I'll have to grab the second as well <<< I thank you. My wife thanks you.

Joao Vaz wrote: Seriously, I'm waiting impatiently for the 2nd version the book, it promises to be a good one Yeah, from what I've heard there's going to be a lot more cool low level stuff in it, so I'm kinda anxious to get my hands on it, too. I don't want to have to wade through 4 different books to learn this language. And of course, having been raised by wolves, I personally don't have any qualms whatsoever about rushing him.

Oh, be very, very careful what you ask for. This guy's got a baaaad reputation... Okay, so maybe I made that last part up. And maybe I didn't. I ain't tellin.

I can't have HTML in my name if I want to appear in the list of top article contributors by article count ( although as of now I'm still not in that list ), and so I changed my name at the same time.

Thanks for the update Tom! I appreciate it. So you went from 432 pages to 848 pages!! :omg: I am glad I didn't pick up the first edition last month! You certainly did update the bejesus out of this one. :) Tom Archer wrote: I'm already hard at work on the next book You know, this brings to mind some questions I have been meaning to ask someone like yourself.
