One more chapter to write, chapter 10, for Professional DevExpress ASP.NET Controls. So far it looks like there will be 13 chapters and one appendix with a page count around 500 pages. The book is scheduled to be out and available by PDC, but our controls are feature-rich enough that it could easily encompass another 500 pages.
I am already working on establishing an errata page and forum support. If permitted in the fashion recommended book questions—any omissions or changes due to feature updates, etc—and customer/reader questions can be posted there. Revised, additional content and new demos will be added as the need or interest presents itself.
The final steps are to write the remaining chapter, extensive editing, technical and peer review, and publication. Everyone at Developer Express has contributed extensively and the project could not have been undertaken and completed without their help. Of course, the final formulation is ultimately my interpretation of things you might want or need to know, examples, anecdotes, stories, facts, and supporting information that will ultimately make reading the book enjoyable as well as informative. (Responsibility for the content is my responsibility and you will be able to write me and rant or rave as the case may be at paulk@devexpress.com.)
I feel gratitude and am indebted to everyone at Developer Express for their numerous and varied contributions. I will save the names for the acknowledgements. I look forward to seeing you at PDC in November.
