The cat is out of the bag. If you were at Tech Ed 2009 in Los Angeles then you know Developer Express is publishing a book with Wrox Press. You couldn’t hardly miss the promotional item: a 50”x 50” book with my gynormous head on it. I tried to get them to put Mehul Harry’s head on it, but since I am writing it they put mine their for all to see.
The book Professional DevExpress ASP.NET Controls (check out the Wiley site to pre-order a copy of it) will be out in September 2009. How do I know? I am writing it and will be burning a lot of midnight oil to get it finished in time for PDC 2009. The downside for me is there is so much material to cover. The upside for you is that there is so much material to cover.
The book includes $250 worth of FREE Developer Express controls, over 400 pages of all new content on Developer Express’ ASP.NET controls, and all the code is on the sample CD-ROM (or can be downloaded from www.devexpress.com). I’d like to point out that the book also includes content on ASP.NET, JavaScript, LINQ, eXpress Persistent Objects (XPO), tips for CodeRush and Refactor! Pro, Ajax, and more.
I am fortunate to get to write about a great suite products that you, our customers, told us you liked by voting for us to win 11 asp.netPRO Reader’s Choice Awards (see Julian Bucknall’s blog post) and two “Best of TechEd 2009” awards (see Julian Bucknall’s other blog post).
Now back to work.
