Update to "Beginning AJAX with ASP.NET" book
Last year (2006), Paul Glavich, Scott Cate, Craig Shoemaker, and I completed our "Beginning AJAX with ASP.NET" book. I wrote the chapters on what was then called Atlas and became ASP.NET AJAX. Apparently, sometime during a drunken stupor, I committed to update my content for the released version of ASP.NET AJAX. Well, that just hadn't gotten done. Its been 4 months since ASP.NET AJAX shipped. I had the best of intentions, but I just didn't have the time given commitments for our full ASP.NET AJAX book, work, and home. I kept telling the editor that I would get to it, but I sounded more and more like the plumbers from the "Money Pit" in saying "Two weeks." Well, I finally had some time this week in the evenings to work on things. Given some peace and quiet, I was able to got through and hit the bunches of changes I needed to make to get this done. The bottom line is that some time, fairly soon (after editing), I suspect that there will be some downloadable content on the wiley.com site for purchasers of the book. I hope that the readers enjoy the updates. Apologies for the delay.
PS. Please quit saying how evil I was for not getting this done sooner. ;-)
