Downloaded the book!
I've had to read Programming in Haskell by Graham Hutton[^] for a course on the Open University.
Nothing wrong with the book, but it never compares the functional way to the imperative way.
But as a C# programmer I find it pretty difficult to think functional because imperative comes more natural to me!
With this book I'm sure I'm going to ace my re-exam for functional programming!
It's an OO world.

throw new NotSupportedException();

Hopefully! No guarantees though.

I wouldn't worry about it. I registered in order to download Mr. Clifton's earlier book using the email and office phone where I was working (as a contractor) at the time. I used to get email from them quite regularly but never a phone call. Before that contract ended, I switched the email to a personal one and haven't heard from them since.
If only I could remember my password, I could get Mr. Clifton's latest. Hmm, I'll need to look into that.
I also got several other useful e-books from them, I'd say, "Go for it!".

Well done

Gratz Marc!

Good read, Marc. Exactly what the doctor ordered.
Thanks for publishing. Honestly I would even pay for this book.

Shall we take it as read that I've done the obligatory Leslie Nielsen[^] comment?

Indeed. That's embarrassing on two counts. First, Pete found out before me, and then, I reposted.

Very odd. I don't get any (and I checked my spam folder too.)

I got my email from Syncfusion about your book on Sept 3rd at 8:17 AM (Eastern Time), so they're sending them out. I downloaded it but haven't had a chance to take a look. Congratulations!

And embarassment #3: I did not realize you were the person Leslie-ing me. Ah, I'm just too excited to think straight right now.

Great! Well done Marc!!!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Way to go Marc! Congrats and thanks for the link.
(I did download it when Pete linked to earlier )
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Very cool! Thank you, Marc, and congratulations!
Um... I noticed, the following fine print:

Does that mean if I, like, crash the operating system on the Curiosity Mars rover because of something I learned from you, I can't go after the contents of your bank account?
Just checking...

That is quite correct. But given the paltry condition of my bank account, you might be better off blaming the Martians.

Congrats Marc.
I'm just on writing my 5th book for the series now (Should be done by the end of this week), not allowed to say in public just yet what it is.
I felt pretty much the same when my GIS one was first published, less so when number 2 (PostgreSQL) but actually strangely jubilant when Number 3 (Twitter Bootstrap V2) was released.
Book 4 (Twitter Bootstrap V3) will appear sometime soon I hope, with number 5 probably early next year.
Any plans to do another?
