  1. @donbox Please don't! Currently I can only see a single non-Don tweet without clicking "more"
  2. @jefftunes I wouldn't. To be honest, once you've read Eric's bit, most of the rest is padding anyway...
  3. @jefftunes Nah, but I'm a fast typist and your name is short and easy for me to spell. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's copy took longer.
  4. @jefftunes Why do you think it's taking so long to make progress? Every time someone buys a copy I've got to edit a new file!
  5. @SittenSpynne 3 new chapters covering C# 4 and code contracts. Changes to existing content - some just tweaks, some new stuff.
  6. Friday the 13th discount: $13 off all Manning books (e.g. http://manning.com/skeet2 :). Use code fri13 at the checkout. #manningbooks
  7. @DNetRadio Excellent - I shall look forward to another sales spike then, hopefully :) (Assuming the mentions were positive of course!)
  8. @jefftunes Are you aware of the early access programme? http://manning.com/skeet2
  9. @ICooper If you mean which one is selling well - the old one (that's all that Amazon knows about AFAIK). Odd, isn't it?
  10. @peteri (And Stephen Colebourne of Joda Time is on the list as well, which is an enormous help. He's been able to clarify some concepts.)
  11. @peteri There are 86 members in the mailing list, and 783 messages - and I kicked it off less than a week ago. Plenty of interest :)
  12. @peteri LOL - it's coming, it's coming. I just need to try not to get distracted by Noda Time...
  13. @markashleybell Excellent - I'm so glad you're finding it useful! :)
  14. @JJoos That would be a beautiful thing if it were true :)
  15. @BernhardHofmann While I'd love that to be true, it wouldn't account for a spike in sales. It's not like it's been up there permanently.
  16. C# in Depth is currently the second best selling C# book on Amazon. Not sure why the sudden surge. All my Noda Time team-mates buying it?
  17. @jasonsupdates Yup, I spotted that. Not sure what's likely to come next (or whether it'll be gold or silver).
  18. @John_Idol LOL. Congrats on the tick anyway :)
  19. @holsee (The MEAP is currently the 3 new chapters and the first 2 edited chapters from the 1st edition.)
  20. @holsee You can get the MEAP right now - http://manning.com/skeet2 - I'm hoping for hard copy around March 2010.
