Just finished reading the book. Good stuff! Thanks for making it free.

246 pages is quite a lot!!!

posted by: Allesandro T. on 10/14/2011 12:41:34 PM

246 pages is quite a lot!!! I am surprised how you share such a large book for free. I mean everything is well done with examples, screen shots, source code, explanation. It is good to know that still there are people who contribute with free things.

Actually when talking about Microsoft technology there are not many free things(I mean that the only free books or other stuff is provided by Microsoft itself), so it is really nice to see that you Boryana, decided to share your book.

More free content and printed book

posted by: Alex St. on 10/14/2011 12:45:41 PM

I agree with @Allesandro T. We need more free and quality content for Microsoft technology. Your book is really amazing, hope to see a printed version soon. Cheers!

Printed version of the book

posted by: Kate Brown on 10/14/2011 1:28:30 PM

A printed version of the book would be perfect. Vote up. Cheers!

Bravo!

Bravo! Big congratulations! Nice work.

posted by: Rahmed Kumar on 10/14/2011 1:34:14 PM

Well done. Like the design and the green style. Very helpful content. I am on the 9th chapter now. Just downloaded the source as well. I am thinning of start using the wp toolkit more in my apps. Did not know that there are such great controls like the HubTile and the MultiselectList.

Great Toolkit documentation

posted by: Shantimohan on 10/14/2011 6:37:58 PM

I was in those 16000 in firt 24 hrs. My immediate goal was to get some help on MultiselectList and HubTiles, which I got from this eBook. I hope you have got the code tested.

I don't go through it from front-to-back. I just refer as and when required. But I feel you should have included a subsection on bugs & work arounds for each control as of current version.

Well done

posted by: Yaank Chin on 10/14/2011 11:08:32 PM

Just noticed that the book already has comments. I also was one of the 16000 that downloaded in the first 24 hours. Great job. Really helpful and really appreciate that the book is free. Worth reading and looking foreword for the next one:)

This is just too good to be true, but fortunately, it is. Such a great book accompanied with the full source codes for examples in the book all for FREE. Thank you very much Boryana, I've been very interested for quite some time now to develop for windows phone and this will help me get started quickly.

Its really hard to write such a large book. And even harder is to give it for free. Thank you for the great work!

I am sure the community will appreciate your work!

Good read

posted by: Jason Short on 10/20/2011 7:10:01 PM

I had actually never picked up the toolkit just because I didn't know what all was in it. After reading through the first 10 pages of the book it became painfully apparent that I was missing something huge! There are a lot of controls and the book does a great job of explaining them.

Great work!!!

posted by: Jorge Serrano (MVP) on 10/22/2011 12:24:04 PM

Great work Boryana.

Congratulations and thanks a lot for all.

Kind regards,

For small children however, a Cheap Cardinals Jerseys is too heavy with designs that are too detailed for the child to appreciate. Kids like it simple and comfortable and they won't appreciate an authentic NFL jersey so there's no point in wasting money on it. A kids jersey needs to be made of a softer material with stitching that won't cause itching and chafing. You can buy Womens 2011 New Field Flirt Jerseys clothing online at an NFL shop. Many people buying sports jerseys or receiving them as Christmas gifts discover that they're perhaps made for pickup football at the local park and not as casual wear.
