speaking from experience? Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

M.D.V.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Good luck on your project!

Thank you Sander!
The index looks interesting. Also I am going to share this with my friends.

You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

Dude, you can't come barging in here and hijack MY shameless self promotion just like that Poke tongue | ;-P

Besides, your article has had enough promotion as it is being the #1 best overall article of October (congrats)!
Very nice article though Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

First off, congrats on your book. That's a lot of work and you're a terrific author so I know it's a valuable resource Smile | :)

You see how this works though, right? One person gets a big post in Lounge and suddenly everyone thinks it's OK. Now, he's promoting his article and that's different, but some day someone else is going to post their book, and they'll have given less to CodeProject than you have. And then when I tell them no and they point to your post, what do I say? "He's OK, but you're not?"

I've been watching this thread for days with a mixture of pride and dread and I'm still meditating on it.

Thanks,

You say exactly that! Laugh | :laugh:

All kidding aside, I do understand your point.
On the other hand it's a valuable free resource and this is THE place to share with the programmer community.
Let's say it wasn't my book, but just some book I read. Would it be okay to post it here?
People do recommend (non-free) books (and other products) to each other here as well.
So yeah, it's probably a bit of a grey area.

You should be proud! A little CPian is spreading his wings and writing books! And I couldn't have done it without CP either Big Grin | :-D

But it is your book. I can think of ten CP authors off the top of my head who have published and made substantial, valuable contributions to the site. Imagine if they all decide to share their books here now. Now picture 100 other people who haven't contributed as much to the site, looking on and thinking it's OK to promote their books in the Lounge. Not a cool user experience.

January, the 2nd or 3rd...

Most of the people who do it aren't around over the "keep a tree indoors" season, and the 2nd is a public holiday (UK, Oz, parts of Europe, USA, ...) so the 3rd seems like a good choice.
Be a shame to waste a good 'un because nobody is there to read it! Laugh | :laugh:
