Although I’m away from home this week (teaching in Hyderabad) I’ve heard that the first advance copies of Dan Sullivan’s and my new SQL Server 2005 book, A Developer’s Guide to SQL Server 2005, have made their appearence. Earlier than expected. Although we RTM’d before SP1, printing takes about 3 weeks and the service pack just beat us out the door. Lost a bet on that one… It’s got much enhanced, detailed information, including a chapter on SMO, the SQL Server Management Objects API. Hope you like it. Look for an updates/code page on the SQLskills website soon.
Another item on my TechEd Boston dance card that slipped my mind is that I’ll be doing book signings at the Addison-Wesley booth. See you there.
Thanks to my co-author, all of our many excellent reviewers, and the folks at A/W who made this possible.

(Blush) yes you’re right its A Developer’s Guide… I’ve fixed the entry and added a hyperlink. Thanks.
Thanks for the update on your book Bob. I could only find it referenced on Amazon as "A Developer’s Guide to SQL Server 2005" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321382188) – is that the correct one? (you called it "A *Programmer’s* Guide to SQL Server 2005"). I’ve added it to my wishlist.
Cheers,
Paul.
Congratulations, Bob. I look forward to reading it.
Excellent! The pre-release book was extremely useful, and I look forward to getting the new one signed at TechEd.
Congratulations on the publication.
Congratulations!
I was enjoying the very well writen "pre-release" book (better later than never) when I found out about the new book. Could you please compare the two or point me to a place where I could find out if the new release is a superset of the former? My apologies for the question, but I’ve seen other authors reducing the scope of a second book.
I found the answer to my question, at http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/item/books-978032138218/0321382188/Developers+Guide+To+Sql+Server+2005+A
Consequently, ordered it 😉
