About this title

From the Author

About ...
A small disclaimer: I'm actually the 'lead author' on this book - it was written by a group of us here at The Mandelbrot Set (International) Limited - TMS. I wrote 3 chapters in the current edition and contributed to others as required.

When we first started to write this - series - (as we're now in to the second edition), we held a brainstorming session to establish the chapter titles - what we should write about in other words. Our problem was, and still is, that like Dr. Who's TARDIS the Visual Basic 'box' is small on the outside but somewhat larger on the inside! In fact, our main problem has always been one of 'content' – what should be in, what should be out. In the end we chose to write on the subjects that we felt were the most appropriate, and truly 'key', for our target audience - the Professional Corporate Developer. He or she is the person we know best, as we work with them day in, day out.

If you have suggestions for themes you'd like to see covered (should we do another edition), please let me have them. You can email me directly as peetm.bookteam@themandelbrotset.com (similarly, each author can be emailed by changing the peetm here to the author's name, e.g. marks will get you through to Mark Sewell, jonb to Jon Burn etc.). Also, for book purchasers, we have a mailing list where we post updates on the book (and other related news). That list may be subscribed to by sending mail to TMS-List-Server@themandelbrotset.com. In the BODY of your mail, put - 'Subscribe TMSBookList'. Please note that this is a closed list for purchasers only – our public lists can be seen, and then subscribed to, by sending the list-server the 'Lists' command instead of the 'Subscribe' command.

We hope you enjoy this, the second edition - we aimed, in writing it to provide at least 70% all new material - we rev'ed the remaining 30% to bring it thoroughly up to date. We succeeded I'm glad to say and the new edition is very different from the first (and interestingly, thinner but with more pages!).

BTW, anyone know what TARDIS stands for?
