[ 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.

I’d love to have a copy of the book. I’ll write a review once I finish it as well as recoommend if it’s as good as I believe it will be.
I would be highly interested in receiving a copy of this book. .NET is one of the primary technologies I have dealt with in the past 5 years, but it is very hard to keep up with as a single person. In two weeks I will be attending Ohio State University for a Computer Science and Engineering major; it is hard for me to afford extraneous expenditures while coping with tuition costs.
Very interested in the book, sure it
I would love it !
I am also interested.
Please consider me interested
I would definitely like to read and review it. 🙂
I occasionally review technical books for a large enterprise and would be interested in taking a look.
Very much interested to get this. Reviews? Definitely YES.

Love your books. Have read back into the c++ series, I may still have a few. Would read and review.
I am very interested in your book and will write a review at O’Reily and Amazon and Barnes & Noble’s websites when I am done.
I would be very interested in reading this book. I use C# everyday at my job and always try to keep on top of the advances of technology.
I’m very Interested and I will agree to review the book and recommend it to colleagues. 🙂
This would be a great book to add to the collection. and I would be happy to review it.
I would LOVE a copy of your book. I have been a VB.Net guy ever since the 1.1 framewrok RTM’d – VB 3,4,5 and 6 before that. I am very interested in Silverlight and MVC and almost evry demo, training session etc is in C# so I have decided to bite the bullet and embrace C# and I believe your book would be a great starting point. Of course, I would agree to the terms above.
Thanks,
Jim

If your proposal applies to Europe, Belgium,
I’m interested and if I get it, I promise I’ll write reviews and tell everybody around what I think of it 🙂
Yes.. I’m very interested getting a copy of the book. I will write a review if I am selected to receive a copy
I bought “Programming C#”, “Learning C# 2005”, I have the feeling that “Programming C# 4” would be a great book too!
