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. >-------------------------------------------------<

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

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.

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.
