Directly from Charles Petzold, USA
I have a new wpf book! 3D Programming for Windows, the latest title from Charles Petzold was just brought to me by the mailman. The other book about WPF (Applications=code+markup) I bought it with money made from Rentacoder (a Firefox extension and a CRUD Php application) but this one I got for free AND with an autograph and a good thought from Charles Petzold on the first page. This is because of the blog you are reading right now.
A while ago, when the book was printed, the author called the wpf bloggers for their home addresses to get the book. I sent the email, it was confirmed and yesterday I had the book in my hands, directly from Charles Petzold, USA. This book is all I wanted after I’ve read the Applications=code+markup (that didn’t have a printed chapter about WPF 3D, but was available here). The book comes in very handy, as I’m really tired of learning from blog posts, sample applications, codeproject or the msdn. I already started reading it, although I have the driver’s license exam next week (I think I’m the only person over 20 in my town without a driver’s license) and some MCTS exams two weeks from now. Hope I don’t mess up.
This is great. Mostly because it inspired me to start a small project, a month-long project, I guess in October or November. It’s a surprise (I think Lucian is the only person who knows about it), so stay tuned. Oh, and it’s going to be in English.
