[ 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.
3. Please put your name into the comments only once
4. I will announce the winners on this blog post, and announce the update on twitter (@jeseliberty)
5. Winners must provide me with their full name, shipping address, contact phone and email. Unless you specifically ask otherwise, O’Reilly may add you to one or another of their mailing lists.
6. This is a promotional give-away from O’Reilly Media, please follow their rules and all local laws, customs and rites.
7. Void where prohibited, Your mileage may vary, Not available in sector C.

Sir,
You taught C#! I read the second edition of Programming C# for my primer. I must confess, I have never remained the same since then. Your approach to examples are wonderful: They are: 1) Detailed (more than simple); 2) Always paint the CONCEPT clear after.
You’re my mentor!

I have owned the 2.0 and 3.0 versions and would love the 4.0. This is one of the few books I always have within reach.
I own the 4th edition and really would like to upgrade 🙂
And yes, I will follow your rules…
Kind regards, CL
Love the O’Reily C# Essentials, want the current improved version. Spread the goods.
Yes, I would love to get a copy to help me grok C#!
And, yes, if I win it I promise to (a) write a review on Amazon and BN.com, (good, bad or other) and, (b) tell friends and co-workers and even (c) write a review on my blog.
Everyone loves books!
If win = Will read, will review, will spread the word =)
I’d love a copy of your new book. I’m always looking to improve my code and always enjoy your blog.
I’d love to try…
I’d looove to have a copy of the book as I’m eagerly spending most of my spare time trying to learn all the nooks and crannys of C# programming for ASP.NET and SharePoint, and I’d love to learn more about Silverlight/WPF and WP7 software development!
I promise to a) put up a honest review it on amazon.com and bn.com, and b) tell my friends in accordance to your if..then statement.. 😉
I would love to lay my hands on the book.
I would love to review your book.
I would love to read the book and write a review for it. It would be even better if it was a digital copy.
I’d like to read it and review it.
This comment intentionally left blank, in order to leave time to read the book.
I would love to read your book and would love to write a review on multiple review sites. The only thing I need is the book. I “accept” the conditions!

I’D LOVE A COPY.
I’d absolutely be interested & I agree to the rules
Most willing to read the book and tell everyone (even the wife) about it
I’m willing to read the book and post comments wherever is needed
I am interested and agree that after reading it I’ll write a review on Amazon and BN.com, and if I like it I’ll tell friends and co-workers!
I would love a copy and agree to all those conditions.
Hey brow, give this copy to me, please. Here in Brazil books are very expensive. Also, the translated books are generally bad.
Regards
Count me in – would love to read the book (and review ect.)
I agree to the terms and conditions, and would love a copy!
I’d like a copy please. All conditions accepted.
I’m definitely interested in a copy of the book!
I’m interested in the book — I will probably end up buying it anyway if I don’t win, but that doesn’t mean I can’t use the money saved for something else. 🙂
I agree to the terms and conditions, promise to read it, and would love a copy!
Not only will I read the book, and write about it, I’ll probably write in the book, and dog ear pages, and cover it with various amounts of pho and phad thai, probably some hot sauce, ketchup and fried chicken grease.
I promise to read pages that make no sense to me over an over again till they play a part in my dreams even though they make no sense. In the morning I’ll explain to my wife that in the dream she was attacking a pregnant nurse with an overloaded private method that she couldn’t use because it wasn’t in her namespace (I warned you it would make no sense). Then I’ll google (or bing if that wins any brownie points) for an answer so I don’t become a pest asking questions about what is plainly on the page – eventually I’ll get it.
I might take the book with me to the coffee shop, but I won’t be buying it a half caff vanilla latte, cuz I’m selfish that way. I might leave a few coffee stains on its pages though – to go along with the phad thai.
I might take it to the beach, but it’ll probably only get left in a bag. I might even take it with me camping.
If I get a job writing anything with C# (which I am desperately trying to do) I’ll attribute my success to the book.
I will not name any children after the book 🙁 I may however, hand it to a child who complains “I’m bored.” to which I will respond “Well read a book. In fact try this one.”
I will read it not only to learn, but to have a convenient alternative to fighting with my wife who is always right in her own dreams – and anytime we argue.
I might like to say I would live the book, smell the book, feel the book, be the book…but, I’m sure I’ll probably just read the book, enjoy the book, learn from the book, and be thankful that I got the book.
I agree to your terms and conditions and would love the opportunity to read this book!
I would like a copy and agree to all the conditions.
Andrew Walker
yes please!
I’ll review it anywhere you need me to 🙂

I love C#.
I’m a .NET c# programmer, I’m excited about the news in c#4 and VS2010.
Would love a copy of the book. Well whether or not I get a copy, I am anxious to develop a few cool apps for WP7. If only my day job wouldn’t get in the way 🙂
Sing me up for the raffle.
Always been a Wrox fan – can O’Reilly tempt me over to their bookshelf?

Would love to read and evaluate it – never been let down by anything you’ve recommended or published.
I need to sit down and put some attention to the new things in 4.0 anyway. Reading with the intent of writing a review is a good way to do that. I’ll have to remember that with the book I’m reading now, regardless of whether my name gets pulled out of the hat.

Hey, this is a great idea, sign me up! O’Reilly books got me into C#.
I would love to read this book. The first book of yours that I’ve read was “Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days”. Programming C# 1st edition was my first contact with C# language and was great.

I would gladly read this book.

I would really like a copy of programming C# 4. I know that if I had the book, I’d share it with the rest of my team. Once I’m done with it, I’d probably donate it to my school’s computer science department.
I would LOVE one! You have no idea how happy this would make me =D
I have your book “Sams Teach yourself C++ in one hour a day, 6e”. I’m teaching myself programming out of interest, and I’ve found your book EXTREMELY helpful.

I’m definitely interested! The first edition of this book was my saviour when learning OOP for my masters degree. It taught me more in one weekend than my OOP lecturer did in an entire module and was the sole reason for me switching from Java to C#.
I’m interested in reading the book and leaving a review on Amazon and BN.com. I’ll also talk about it to my co-workers here in Italy.

Everything I know about C# I learned from O’Reilly books (well, almost everything). I’d like a copy of Programming c# 4 so I can stay up-to-date and share it with our .net user group…
Count me in… 🙂
I started my C# programming with the first book and while I try to keep my C# up to date with Internet I still want to have it one place – and from the start to finish on the topic.
Very interested 🙂

Hi, I’d be interested in a free book… but I’m in the UK. Does that make a difference (hey, it might help – comments / reviews on the UK Amazon site wouldn’t hurt I’m guessing? 🙂 )
