Beta Readers Wanted - Whidbey C# - (O'Reilly Author)

Jesse Liberty

This is a one time request for beta-readers for a new book I'm working on.

*************

I'm writing a new book on Visual C# 2.0 - target audience is C# 1.x
programmers looking to move up to 2.0 (code-name Whidbey).

The ideal candidates have been programming in Visual C# 1.x for a while, are
familiar with and comfortable with all the language fundamentals, delegates,
creating windows and web applications and so forth and are ready to learn
what is new in Visual Studio and C# 2.0, as well as highlights of what is
new in creating Windows and Web Applications.

I will post the chapters after I've written them but before they've been
edited or tech-reviewed. Your job will be to provide guidance and advice as
to how helpful the chapter is, what is missing, what could be clearer, etc.

You can expect to read (and respond to) about 40-50 pages per week through
Thanksgiving; starting next week. Ideally, you'll have the Visual Studio
2.0 Beta installed on a computer and will be able to try the exercises,
though this is not strictly required.

There is no financial compensation (though active participants will receive
a copy of the book when it is published, and an acknowledgement in the book
itself). You will need to sign a Non-disclosure agreement and you'll need to
join a forum on Delphi (membership is free).

If you are interested, please send me email (jl******@Liber tyAssociates.co m)
with your name, email, C# experience, etc.

Thank you.

It is not a forum on the Delphi language per se, have a look. Delphi is just
the name of the forum.
