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 would love to review the book…thanks for the chance to do so.
Count me in
I am hungry for knowledge.
Thanks.
I am not quiet to sure if I am eligible to enter this competition/give… I am not working for Microsoft or O’Reilly Media… The thing is I am in Africa… Do you know Africa? Of course you do… Thanks to South Africa for hosting a wonderful SWC… I hope now some people have a different perception about Africa… Can you please donate to us who are living in the ‘bushes'(this is just one of the perceptions) a copy of a book that we might burn to make fire (another perception) so that we can learn how to program in C#…. By the way I am from South Africa I hope I am eligible to enter this competition…
Definitely interested to review the Programming C# 4.0 book.
Will surely update with my comments on Amazon having gone through it.
If you’ll happen to (pseudo) randomly make my post the winner, I will not only commit to rules a and b but also promise to stop writing VB.NET code.
hey, i’d love to have a copy! thanks
I want to read the book and write about it.
I would very much so be interested in this. Writing a review is a small price to pay for a potentially awesome book.
