Giving away Programming C# 4 – one per week…

[ Weekly Winners Listed at the bottom of the message ]

Want a free copy?

If you’d like a free copy of Programming C# 4 direct from O’Reilly, just leave a comment indicating your interest and agreeing that after you read it you’ll…

(a) write a review on Amazon and BN.com, (good, bad or other) and, (b) if you like it, tell friends and co-workers (if not, tell me 🙂  )

Each week for the next 3 months I’ll draw a name randomly (each entry will be assigned a number and I’ll use a (pseudo) random number generator to pick one).

My Hidden Agenda

Programming C# was, for a while, the best selling book on C# and O’Reilly’s #1 .NET book.  I want that back.  The single best way I knew of to get it, was to ask Ian Griffiths, the smartest C# programmer I know, if he would rewrite the book; keeping what was best, removing the cruft and adding his extraordinary insight.  He and Matthew Adams (an extremely sharp (pardon) guy who I don’t know nearly well enough) have done an extraordinary job.

Quite Note on Rules

This is a fairly informal system, but to make sure no one is upset, here are some rules that I hope are fairly standard:

1. I will do my best to ensure that the selection is random
2. I will select a winner sometime during every week of August, September and October 2010, though we may extend.
