Thanks I pre-ordered it.

I hope it's also a tutorial too, not just a reference book.

I'm not sure I'd call it a tutorial as such, but it's far from just a
reference book.


I hope it's not one of those "philosophical" books that waxes
eloquently about the wonders of parallel programming without actually
showing much. BTW your book on advanced C# 3.0 is borderline like
this--it talks a lot about the history and evolution of C#3 from #2,
#1--which is OK but not really what I am looking for when learning the
language (after I've mastered it, it's another story). But your book
is useful and I'm reading it slowly everyday--your Appendix A on Linq,
like you've said, is very good. It's just now a keeper compared to,
say, Albahari et al's C# book, which is amazingly packed with
information. Still, for $20 bucks what you do expect? It's better
than nothing. I usually keep only half the books I buy--the rest I
read once and trash. I like your publisher's decision to make the
book available in keyword searchable PDF format, which means I can
index it using Google desktop and refer to key phrases later on.
