	I want to stress again how much I'm enjoying your book. Here's why: I've bought a ton of .Net books over the last two years. First I did ASP.Net work, and now I'm moving into WinForms. Most of the books look at .Net from a feature point of view--they cover all basics, presenting the CLR, controls, data access, error handling, deployment, etc. But they provide little, if any, real-world information about taking all these features and creating an application. Your book, on the other hand, takes the opposite approach (as you know!), and provides a quick look at the .Net architecture, but then moves straight into developing an app., teaching more about .Net along the way. I wish there were more books like this!

	You did a great job of distilling VS.NET and VB.NET in less than 100 pages.

	Jeff's too modest. His book is a good place to start. If you want to start creating e-Learning content using a page scripting language then you have a huge amount of work to do. Jeff's book doesn't have the solutions to all these things but it does solve some of the initial time wasting challenges and point you in a sensible direction. So, to sum up, Jeff's book may not be all you need but it will get you started and, unlike the Java route, you can always hassle Platte for help.

	You have a great, relaxed writing style.
