a very good Windows 8 book for cheap

I know I said this would be a weekly thing and I think what I'll have to do is make sure I have shorter blogs in between and not have a mammoth post each time. Also I did just finish one of my hardest exams today so I was kinda busy with that. I've got one more on Tuesday which will be equally tricky but I'll hope for the best.

Anyway the reason I'm writing this entry is that I found out about a great deal while listening to Windows Weekly. I've been listening to it for quite a while now and I've found its really handy for finding out about what's new with windows. Paul Thurrott has some good analysis of Microsoft's latest ventures and I find its easier to just listen to this stuff.

Mr Thurrott mentioned that a book on programming for windows 8 by Charles Petzold is only $10 for the eBook and he's actually publishing it as its being written which is quite interesting. It seems like a good idea seeing as many people will be downloading the various previews and people like me, will want to dabble with the new windows 8 stuff which seems to be signifying a huge change in the world of Windows. Apparently Charles Petzold is a really good tech writer so its worth buying, specially since you can get a copy for your kindle and on pdf.

 I'll probably have a larger post on my opinions on Windows 8 later on as this release seems to be maybe just as big as the change from windows 3.11 to windows 95.
