              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.

                                        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.

Actually, another person wrote and asked that same thing. I'm going to site down in the next day or two and write an article on this since so many people ask me about it. Why don't you send me the questions and I'll include that in the article? Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C#
