I'm definitely in. Should we post a separate message with this as the subject to see how many would participate? Also, what was used to capture the transcript? What would capture from the UT chat? Would Michel approve of using the UT chat for this? I think Victor would coordinate it all and be moderator (did I understand you correctly Victor?)?

The only books I've seen so far on C# that I've liked enough for personal use are the WROX books (including the .net framework book). I'm waiting to see Kevin's book that due out soon. I'm not sure of the format it is in (reference, tutorial, etc) I agree though that this is the case for a book that is more text-like and example-driven than pure reference. Kind-of a start at step 1 and go through all of the logical steps to build your first app with .net, etc. More along the lines of a beginner's 'how to' but not geared for new programmers, know what I mean? Am I phrasing that correctly? What type of permission would we need from an author (if any) to use their book in a study group?

>I think this would be a great idea and would participate if at all possible. We utilized a chat format for the web-based study groups we had when the VFP certification exams were new and that worked out pretty well. I think we could probably use the UT chat for this. We would need a moderator and someone to capture the transcript and post it afterwards, maybe on the Fox wiki since it would have a Fox focus even though it's about C#. Also of course we would need people to present or at least to lead the discussion for each session. If we use a book, the WROX books are great but personally I'd lean toward using one that's designed more like a text book, IOW a teaching tool rather than a reference tool. If we can agree on a book maybe we could do a chapter a week. What do you think?

>>I think it would be great. I wonder how many others would be interested? I already have a couple of the WROX .net books, I'm waiting for Kevin's to come out from Hentzenwerk! I would definitely participate. Maybe a thread on the subject to determine the amount of interest would be a good idea? Would need at least one VFP/C# expert though to catch us when we fall online... :o)

>>>Do you think it'll work? I'll try just about anything once. It'll be different than standing up in front of a crowd. Give me some ideas and suggestions so that we can move forward on this. Did you want to coordinate the sessions?
