Just curious is there a place where one who has the first edition book can get the newly added stuff that is in the second edition? Nothing personal but I dont see the point in spending money on the second edition when I have the first edition already.

Yes! Jenny and I are extremely loyal to our first edition readers, and we don't ever want any of you to feel like you're left out in the cold. That's why I've been working on getting as much of the new material from the second edition as I could online in the form of blog posts.

Here's a list of the posts that I've made with new material from the second edition. I'll pin this post to the top of the forum, and I'll keep this keep this list updated as I add more of it.

• Nullable types -- how to use nullable types like int? and DateTime? to make your programs handle unexpected inputs
• LINQ to XML -- use LINQ to query XML data
• Equality, IEquatable, and Equals() -- add equality to your objects by implementing IEquatable<T> and overloading equality operators
• Refactoring C# in Visual Studio 2010 -- refactoring using Visual Studio 2010
• The Type class and GetType() -- explore types using basic reflection
• Namespaces and assemblies -- how namespaces and assemblies work
• XML Comments -- using XML comments to document your code
• Using BackgroundWorker to make your UI responsive -- the BackgroundWorker component one of the easiest ways to add threading to your program

Thank you, thank you, thank you, and just for good measure thank you both again. I really like the book and am following it fairly well. I am glad that you have added the second edition stuff for us first edition ppl. Just curious you ever thought about following it up with how to use C# on the web like Java (Dont know if that is possible.) If it is cool.

One more time Thank you
