    Officially an Author

    Today I received on my doorstep my two free copies of Duncan's new book Visual Basic .NET 2003 Kick Start from Sams Publishing.

    For this book, I acted as the main Technical Editor.  Later on I was offered an opportunity to do some actual writing.  I ended up writing chapters 5 and 6 (ADO.NET and DataBinding) and was the technical editor for all the other chapters of the book.  It was a great experience for me as I am halfway new to writing.  For anyone that comes across my blog and have used VB6 and are wanting to move to VB.NET or just pick up some new tricks and base knowledge of VB.NET 2003, I'd highly recommend this book.

    Thanks Duncan!  :)
