Thought for the Dazed

I've had to give up that Distance Learning course as I was having trouble seeing the teacher.

Yellow Book Download Frenzy

Cover

This lunchtime I happened to take a look at the number of hits that I was getting on my blog. I have a fair idea of what constitutes normal traffic and what was happening was not normal. Oh no. I seemed to have had 12,000 hits. It seems that for some reason everybody was downloading my C# Yellow Book. I asked around on Twitter and I think I’ve traced it to a post on the MSDN Flash Newsletter. Thanks for your help folks. As it stands at the moment I’ve had 20,000 downloads, which is quite a lot.

I hope you all like it.

Downloaded your book yesterday after stumbling on the link from another site. Although I've been programming in VB6 and VBA for some years, I've been trying to find the time to get acquainted with C# and .NET. I just started reading the book, and it looks like the perfect introduction to C#. Thanks for making this available!

I am a veteran automobile mechanic decided to learn something new. I want to program for windows phone but thought I might need to learn some actual coding first. Found out about your book watching one of the WP7 videos.

I recommended it to a family member in the states, a web designer interested in learning C#.. so that counts for one!

Now to start charging and make your millions ... please note: for the idea of selling I charge 10% of the gross profit.
