Per chi non lo conoscesse, Bruce Eckel e' l'autore della fortunata serie
di libri "Thinking in C++", "Thinking in Java", ecc..
Vi mando un paio di notizie dalla sua newsletter (che seguo).
1) Uscira' un "thinking in C#", di cui Eckel sara' il secondo autore; lui
quasi se ne scusa (di occuparsi di C# intendo) e dice che lo hanno costretto
a forza a mettere il suo nome sul libro. Giusto per vendere di piu'.
2) "Thinking in Java" uscira' in primavera in italiano. Io l'ho appena
comprato in inglese. Vabbe'.
Ci sono altre notizie, ma per ora le tralascio.
Ciao
Emanuele

===================================
* Thinking in C# up soon (we hope to have a seminar this summer)
For the many folks who have requested this, here's what you've been
waiting for. And for those of you who think that Microsoft is the evil
empire, please keep your counsel -- this wasn't my idea, it was Larry
O'Brien's (the long-time former editor of Software Development magazine,
creator of Game Developer and AI Expert magazines, who has given seminars
with me and helped create the original "Hands-On Java CD ROM," etc.).
Basically, Larry decided he would like to translate "Thinking in Java"
into C# and we've worked it out. The publisher wants my name on the cover
as the second author and I'm sure I'll learn plenty about it from my
involvement, but basically Larry's the expert (and he will be giving the
C# seminar, which we hope to launch in Crested Butte this summer).
Publication should be sometime this summer, and it will be announced here.
Larry has an especially valuable perspective, because although he likes C#
and .NET as useful platforms upon which to build applications, he is not a
Microsoft sycophant and tells it like he sees it, so if there's something
he doesn't like or a situation that looks like it will be problematic (for
example, because of Microsoft's copyrights on the most important aspects
of .NET), he writes about it. So whether you decide to use C# or not,
you'll find this a valuable and insightful analysis of the language.
Just like the other "Thinking in..." books, the electronic version will be
distributed freely from the web site. We hope to have it up (along with
the BackTalk feedback system) within the next few weeks, so stay tuned.
===================================
* Thinking in Java, in Italy, in Italian
To coincide with the Spring publication of the Italian translation of
Thinking in Java, 2nd edition, Andrea Provaglio will be giving a "Thinking
in Java" seminar in Piacenza in the Italian Language, during the first
half of June. We will publish details on the web site and in this
newsletter when they are finalized. You can also email Andrea directly at
Andrea@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
