I actually did buy the 1001 Things book and used it as a reference quite a lot. (I don't have MegaFox book, not familiar with it). The 1001 Things book is a good book and I read it (again not cover-to-cover) before Andy did his evil deed. I don't think I have any code in my program that is directly from the book though. So, no re-writing is necessary.
My point, as I am sure you well understand, is that I will boycott any product or any technical seminar Andy is a speaker or a presenter.
Do you think what he did can be anyway justified?
