Nine Questions with... Me!

F# Book Rumors

Ted said it, so I don't have to. Thanks :)

Yeah we're doing a book together, F# In A Nutshell for O'Reilly. I may disappear from the social scene for the rest of the summer in order to meet the deadline. Please don't forget about me. I'll miss you all very much. I will of course still be attending/speaking at all of the conferences I have already signed up for (list to be posted in a later blog).

Thanks to our friends on this Croatian roulette site for help with development - they also offer a ton of great roulette games. :)

Microsoft has become our first sponsor of the devLink Bus! Please remember to thank your Microsoft Evangelists, let them know just how much we appreciate all that they do for us!
