I would buy this book too if it would be available physically, because for me it is way too hard to read on a computer. I can tell you that it is excellent way to get into PB if only you would update it.

I would never have switched to PureBasic if it weren't for your book. Without such great support documentation, it would be hard to imagine why someone would switch over to a new/different programming language.

I hope you will update to current/next version of PureBasic.

Might stick it on eBay and see how much it goes for. :)

No way. This is one of the tech books that I will never part with.

He didn't say he'd part with it, just run the auction, take the money and then keep the book. :wink: (Then run!)

Hi Kale,

there is interest in your book on the German PB forum.
Is there any way how we still can get the eBook version?

In a few weeks (24th Jan 2009) my book will be withdrawn from sale because it is no longer updated to the current version of Purebasic. I don't want to charge people for a version that is out of date.

So i must say thank you to all the people who have bought a copy, you have made me very happy over the last few years and made the effort (and RSI) worth it. :)

Thankyou.

I am aware that this book is out of print, nevertheless it sounds like there is still some good information available in it. Do you have a book available that I can buy from you, or perhaps the eBook. Both would be good! paperback and ebook.

Doesn't sound like it is hopelessly out of date? am I right in my assumption that there are just a few bits and pieces could be revised for the latest release of PB?

Either way, I would be very happy to send the money to you via PayPal, or any other online means.

Looking forward to hearing from you Gary.


Best Regards,

Peter.
