Hi Philip,

I must apologise - the pdf that is on my website is still from the previous edition - I will update it shortly!

As it is a new edition only, the number of changes are not great.  I have made numerous corrections and added content (and have taken some content out).  I am not going to continue to sell the old edition - although I know that some students may buy this second hand.  I personally feel that the newest edition is the best option - which I guess I would say having spent many, many hours revising the content!  The new edition is several pages longer.  Those who will be purchasing the iBook version will notice the biggest changes as I have incorporated interactive quizzes, presentations and many galleries.  I also have an eBook version for the first time.

Cheers,
Adrian

HI Adrian, How different is version 2?
I had a look at the pdf  preview of chapter 1 and it is identical to the old version.

Hi everyone,

I few people have been asking me for updates on the text - so here is where I am up to!  There are a few formats / versions of the text - which I have listed below:

Print version

ISBN: 978-0-9873914-0-7

Price: $70.00 (ex-GST)

The print version of the text is basically completed now and will be going to print very shortly.  It is my aim to have this ready for shipping prior to the end of the school year - but it will be a tight deadline.  If it is not ready by then, it will certainly be ready for distribution in early January.

eBook (pdf) version

ISBN: 978-0-9873914-2-1

Price: $50.00 (ex-GST)*

The eBook version will be available to purchase via my web-site very soon (2-3 weeks).  Students who purchase the print version of the text will receive a 'coupon' code so that they can purchase the eBook (as well) for a greatly reduced price.

iBook version

ISBN: 978-0-9873914-1-4

Price: $50.00 (ex-GST)

The iBook version is also basically completed now and will be available in 2-3 weeks.

Combo pack - (SD text purchased with 'Visual Basic.Net for Education')

Price: $90.00 (ex-GST)

If you wish your students to also purchase the text 'Visual Basic.Net for Education', they can purchase it from me in a 'combo' pack for an additional cost of just $20 (instead of the normal $50).

Consignment orders

As I have done in previous years, I am very happy to send texts out to you on consignment to sell to your students when they start the year.  The advantage of doing this is that you can send back any unsold copies and you only need to pay for those that you sell.  It also combines the postage costs into one.

I am happy to take pre-orders via my web-site or email.  For those that haven't responded to my survey - here is the link:

http://adrianjanson.wufoo.com/forms/software-development-ctp-edition-2-survey/

This link is not a commitment to purchase or an ordering system - simply a way that I can gather information about formats people would like, etc.

Cheers,

Adrian Janson
