                      It is a good news but not much big. These ebooks are not for novice programmers. So if anybody wants to start learning, should find something else. After reading the news 4-5 days ago, I immediately downloaded "Programming Windows 8 Apps with HTML, CSS and JavaScript". There are lots of text and graphics but not enough code. And I am sure, this will be true in case of other ebooks too. These ebooks are only for those who already know much about their related programming/concept, in-fact. I have seen/analyzed many documentation of well-known products of big companies. They are believing that only very good and professional programmers/users will use their technologies; and thus they make documentation accordingly. Look at Firefox.com; can you find "Web browser" or anything else that clearly specifies what the thing Firefox is? Neither at its homepage nor at its About page even. This is true for most of documentation of technologies of Google, Microsoft, Firefox/Mozilla, Paypal, Java, jQuery and many other. At starting of their documentation, they mostly look like theory-only book and then afterwords they look like reference books. They aren't covering straight forward examples. :(

                                To save y'all the trouble of looking it's mostly incredibly boring manuals for microsoft's more obscure products; the kind of stuff that comes on the install disk. Sigh.

                                      I guess it means one has to pay for novice material from Microsoft Press. :( Charles Petzold does indicate in the introductory section of Programming Windows Phone 7 that;

                                      I assume that you know the basic principles of .NET programming and you have a working familiarity with the C# programming language.

                                      For the book you have mentioned "Programming Windows Phone 7", if a novice programmer has basic or medium knowledge of C#.NET still s/he wouldn't be able to start learning something new BASED ON C#.NET KNOWLEDGE from that book! And, well, I don't think Microsoft press has good writers. APress and Wrox have; and sometimes even Dummies ("x programming for Dummies") has good books than Microsoft press!
