Hello folks,
I am pleased to report that two Nelsons are now developing in my household. My 16 year old son picked up a copy of Visual Basic 2008 Step By Step I was reviewing, downloaded Visual Basic Express and proceeded to write more code yesterday than I did! The good news is you can also get your hands on a copy as we have managed to secure a 40% off special offer on both the Visual Basic and C# Step by Step books.
Now - the big question. Why should you read any further down this email?
I think the answer is pretty simple - lots of great stuff to read and try! The Feature Article is a great summary of Project Velocity (ever wanted a great data cache?) and Fresh Discoveries is overflowing. I came across Pex for the first time this week which generates unit tests for your methods and was pleased to see Elisa publishing a detailed article on the design philosophy of the Entity Framework. We have information for Rich Client and Web developers, C# and Visual Basic, Enterprise and Hobbyist - even Terrarium is back! (Never heard of .NET Terrarium!? Check out below).
Finally, we are offering the opportunity to win one of 3 tickets for the ReMix UK 08 event in September to listen to great speakers including Scott Guthrie and Bill Buxton. All you have to do is watch a short video before entering the draw. Good Luck!
All the best
Eric
P.S. I have been dabbling with polls over on my blog - including REST vs SOAP in 2009 and Has your head exploded?
