http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596519988/ still shows March 2008 (est.) for publication date. Other stores (Amazon, Barnes and Nobel, etc.) show the book as out of stock. Any word on when Essential Silverlight 2 Up-To-Date will be available for purchase? I'm very looking forward to purchasing this title. Thanks much!

Hey Russ-
Thank you for being so patient. We ran into a bit of a delay with the manufacturing of this book, so the release date has been pushed back. I hope to have an actual release date today or tomorrow and will post back then.
Thanks!
Laurel

Laurel,

I noticed the land page (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596519988/) for the book has been updated to say April 2008 est. Any more specific information then that? I don't mean to pester, I just have a silverlight 2 project starting and due very soon that I'm preparing for and would like to know if I can count on this book as a potential resource/reference.

Thanks much for any additional info you can give.

Hello everyone!
We've had some unforeseen manufacturing delays, but it looks like the book will be in the warehouse on Wednesday 4/16 (tomorrow!), which means you should have it in your hands within 10 days or so.

Russ, I hope this is soon enough for you.

Thanks for your patience everyone!
Laurel

Laurel,

Excellent news! Are you able to verify my previous forum post question about section 3? Will that section be expanded with updates to the book? It seems a little skinny. I need to utilize .net as opposed to javascript so I really need a resource with as much coverage of .net silverlight 2 development as possible. Deffinetly some coverage of each of the supported .net framework controls. Or is all that out of the scope of this book?

Thanks for keeping us updated!

Russ

Thanks for being so patient! We've had quite the comedy of errors getting this book out. But it is in stock and the first update is ready to be launched (hopefully next week).

Thank you,
Laurel
