New book
-
Finished my tax return this morning, so as a treat, I went tout and bought a copy of Mr Archers Inside C#. Now I've heard rave and not so rave reviews about this. I remember having a nose in the book shop back in January, and remember seeing a lot about the IL, which is what those few who were complaining about, well complained about. To much IL that is. From a glance I've not seen any in the second addition. From general consensus its apparently the best which is why I bought it, but held out as Tom mentioned that he was working on the second edition. Anyway, the other subject I wanted to read around was XSLT. Anyone recommend a good book. Saying that, there seemed to be loads of resources on the web, with into tutorials, along with this is good for converting XML to HTML. I've seen glimpses of what else it can do, like CSV to XML, and it seems that pretty much any file format (not binary - unless I'm mistaken), could have a transform for it. It does seem like quite a swine to read though. Anyway, off to see what’s so good about C#, and make my mind up for myself. :)

Actually, most people that didn't like the first edition specifically didn't like it due to the fact that there was not enough "inside" information. There is much more in terms of MSIL and advanced usage information in the second edition. I think you'll find that when you've had a chance to really get into the book. Let me know if you have any questions or doubts and I'll help all I can. Cheers, Tom Archer Author - Inside C#, Visual C++.NET Bible

Hi Tom, are you going to write a 3rd edition of C# inside? I have the 1st edition, but I am missing some points in it (where's the using .NET components in native Win32 applications mentioned in the TOC?). I am thinking about the "upgrade" to the 2nd edition, but since we using Everett on our developer machines, it would be nice to know if there will be any new revision for the .NET Framework 1.1.
