New version of book coming out????

I see a new version of the book coming out, with .net 3.5. The author is Love, but in Barnes and Noble the author is Marco Belinaso. Does anyone know if this new version is an update to the old Marco book, updated with .net 3.5 with The Beer House application?

The book is being updated by Chris Love from original author Marco Bellinaso's text, so it is in fact Love and Bellinaso getting author credits.

Unfortunately, Chris (or the publisher) have decided to write the book in VB.NET...WTF!!!!!!! Bad choice.

Can't disagree with you there.

VB was Chris's recommendation and I OK'd it. There is C# code available for download too.

The C# version does not appear to be totally stable. I think Chris is working on it though.
