I’m very proud to announce the relase of my first Short Cut: Getting Started With .NET 3 available for $9.99 here.

The goal of this Short Cut is to get you up and running with the future of Microsoft programming: .NET 3.

It is a preview of what is to come, to be fleshed out in a full Programming Book to be released as quickly as our tiny little fingers can type. But this is no white-paper; with this Short Cut you will create a real, meaningful application (Me!Trade) and get a good look at what the Windows Presentation Foundation and the Windows Communication Foundation have to offer (QuoteWrong Web Service), as well as a quick-peek both at Windows Workflow and at CardSpaces (Passport on steroids)

So skip two Cappuccinos this week and get ahead of the curve. Ten bucks ain’ t what it usta’ was and .NET 3 is about to arrive at the speed of information. (I was kidding about skipping the Cappuccinos, skip something unimportant, like the mortgage, or food).

I look forward to your feedback on this pdf and to your on-going feedback to our forthcoming tome on .NET 3, which we’ll be rushing to Rough Cuts this fall.

Thanks.
