>>I used the book from 2004-2006,

I've used it just about annually, including twice in 2010 where it generated some juicy billing.
Unquestionably it's one of the best investments in a tech book I've ever made.
The ROI is in the stratosphere somewhere.




For instance, I've said many times that Tamar and Della Martin wrote one of the best Office Automation books I've ever seen. That book helped me out many times. A great book with tons of meaningful examples. I used the book from 2004-2006, which was long after the publication date.

In 2006, the guy who runs Polymorphic Podcast referred to one of my CoDe magazine articles on remoting as one of the best articles he'd ever seen on breaking down the fundamentals of remoting. Sure, I'm proud to pass that on, but it was someone else who made the comment.
