Hi Jason! Jason Jystad wrote: Iwondered when the new edition of your book was going to hit? It should be in stores the 24th of this month. Jason Jystad wrote: 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. 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 figure your editor will do that for us.) :laugh: Actually, Inside C# is already completed from my end. It's now in the printing process. I'm already hard at work on the next book :) Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C#
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. I have been considering writing a tech book and I am curious about a couple of things. Do you mind if I run a couple of questions about book writing by you?

Can we get someone more important than Tom to sign them? (very very evil grin) :) :) Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement.

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. My first vote was for 'El Capitanos Des Codos' but I figured no-one would get it was me. Christian The tragedy of cyberspace - that so much can travel so far, and yet mean so little.

I didn't want to annoy you if you were tired of answering those kinds of questions. Tom Archer wrote: Why don't you send me the questions and I'll include that in the article? Will do, I will work up a list of questions and e-mail them to you directly in the next day or so.
