In a few weeks (24th Jan 2009) my book will be withdrawn from sale because it is no longer updated to the current version of Purebasic. I don't want to charge people for a version that is out of date.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

Aren't you going to update it?

I still have and often refer to my copy of the book.
IMHO, this is an invaluable resource and a great contribution to the community.
Thank you, Gary

If you decided to update it, I would buy another copy!! A very valuable resource.

If you're pledging that you have no intention of ever updating this book I would encourage you to make the PDF freely available for everyone to use.
I hope you do update it. PureBasic just won't be the same without your companion book.

Can I ask you what software you used to write it in?

Kale didn't say he wasn't updating it. He just said he's pulled the old version
from sale as it's out-of-date. I'd wager he's updating it as we speak.

QuarkXPress, but if i was doing it again, i'd use Open Office.

Due the problems that a recent customer had with the paperback book version it has now been withdrawn from sale. The PDF version, however, is still available for another week or so.

Any plans to revise/update the book? I'd buy it again.

Me too. I'd still like one in paperback.
